LS2 Convertion Motor Mounts? I have found two mounts (Speed & Performance and BRP). I am trying to figure out which one to use. Here is what I have heard, please let know what is true and what is not.
BRP Advantages:
Moves engine up forward allowing for long tube headers and rear mount coils.
BRP Disadvantage:
You have to cut the transmission tunnel out to install T56
You have to knotch the hood with a Magnacharger
BRP Question:
Do you still have the modify the oil pan with these mounts?
Will the stock A/C compress fit without knotching the sub-frame?
S&P Advantages:
Motor is lower and back for a better center of gravity. You do NOT have to cut the transmission tunnel out for a T56. A Magna charge will fit without cutting the hood.
S&P Disadvantages:
Header problems, requires a modified oil pan, special accessory brackets required ($1,800).
Thanks
Phillip

I believe you need to install their Rack&Pinion Steering or something similar also

There are alternatives to the S&P Accessory mounts. All the stock FBody will fit except the A/C, ATS claims they will have one and I found another from Newman Car Creations. Check this link from Super Chevy, look on page 2. I have not called them for details yet, but it looks pretty good and should be way cheaper.

There are several other people who are making the S&P type mounts, including TransDapt. You can also find steel versions on EBay for about $40. That's where I got mine and they work fine.
Thanks
