This is a drop in swap. S&P style adapters bolt to your block and stock V-8 motor mounts bolt to them. This has been asked and answered numerous times, you will find a lot of info if you search the forum. Lots of other folks make mounts also (TeeToe Jones is one of them).

There is alot of good information on www.nastyz28.com for us second gen guys....

I went with motor mounts from www.brphotrods.com as I intend to keep the A/C in my Z and the BRP motor mounts will allow me to re-use the LS1 compressor and no modifications to the oil pan are nedded.
