Default Need some LS1 ---> SBC mount adapter plate specs

Info: VH45DE nissan dohc v8 going into a 1991 rx-7.

I've been doing some eyeball measurements for the motor mount plates on my VH45DE, and it came to me that the LS1 to SBC adapter plates looked very similar in shape and size.
If the LS1 block ---> 4-bolt motormount bolt spacing is similar enough to the spacing on my VH45 (enough to where I could modify the LS1 adapters to fit), then this opens up a WHOLE new world of mounting options that I can use for my project.


I got a picture of some of the LS1 S10 adapter mounts, and accented the LS1 mount dimensions that I need. Any help is appreciated, as I have been ignored on every forum I have asked this so far.

The links to the templates is dead.. does anyone have a ls1 block sitting around that they can just take 3 seconds and measure how far apar the original four engine mount holes on the block are apart from each other, I'd appreciate it.
