Hi,
Could someone please tell me the difference between the S&P and BRP engine mount adapter plates, I know that the BRP would put the engine about 1-3/4" more forward than the S&P, what would this affect? I will be using a Wayne Due sub-frame with 84-87 vette suspension.
I have LS1 driveshaft and original one from my 1969 Camaro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I believe you have to run Rack&Pinion steering to use the BRP setup. But since you are using a different subframe, I'm not sure. My S&P plates sat my motor almost all the way against the firewall. But I still had to have the oil pan notched since I was using the stock steering setup.

Use the S&P style mounts with the Wayne Due frame. You will have no accessory clearance issues with that frame, and having an engine further back in the chassis is a good thing.

Thanks for the info, S&P mounts it is!
Hi Tyler, we chatted several times when 50/50 body was first meeting chassis. Hope to be able to pick all of your collective brains for this project.
