I thought I read somewhere that you could reuse the V6 mounts by moving them forward and flipping them.
I think it required drilling some new holes in the crossmember.
Supposedly once you do that all that is needed is a set of LS adapter plates.
If I'm way off here I apologize. Please keep flaming to a minimum.

that's what my builder told me today. He just flipped them. Thought $17 was WAY WAY cheaper and easier. But, what do I know.
Here is what I found for the Autozone mount

Just put out a wanted add for mounts on MonteCarloSS.com and MalibuRacing.com. I picked up a set. But SEVERAL people replied. Head over there guys, 1 guy had 3 sets.
They are going for $20 plus the ride.
Good Luck.

Getting ready to pick up a new radiator for the GN build they have rad's with inlet/outlet on the same side and opp. sides which is easier to work with when you have a LS?

Getting a radiator with inlet/outlet both on the passenger side will allow you to use the shortest hoses possible. If having it made, have them add a fitting for the steam line too.

Since I'm using the truck intake with a DBC throttle, I'm concerned that if I have the clam shells and the adapter plate stacked that I may run into clearance issues with the hood. Using these will give me back a 1/4 inch or more depending on the angles.

Anyone using factory floor shifter with 4l60e?
Trying to get the monte floor shifter that was used with 200r4 to work with my 4l60e, using 1in set back plates.
I sold the old 305 and trans a while back, didnt even cross my mind to take the brackets off the original trans if that's all I need for the shifter to work with the 4l60e.

Looks like I can get it to work with threaded rod and few nuts and washers.
RED- rod
Blue- nuts
