We carry the conversion plates in a few different configurations. I have them in standard, 1 inch further back and a few guys using the s-10 conversion mounts to install a ls1 into your application. I also have a few conversion swap pans available.
Give us a call we would be glad to help.
Thanks

John B may still be offering parts (mounts, pan) as well. Might be worth checking into. I used his parts and am happy. Compared to other offerings it may be a bit more expensive, but its good quality and works just right.

Sorry about the late reply. The car is running great, not one problem yet. I used wait4meperformance for my harness and PCM modifications. They did what i asked and had good customer service. Sometimes they are busy, but if you call you usually can talk to someone.
For a fuel system, I dreaded putting it together since there is no one easy agree'd way to do it. As I did the fuel system last I chose a cheap way to get it done so it would run. (I plan on a frame off restoration in the next 2-5 years so an Ideal system was not on my mind, i will redo it.) I used the corvette regulator and a walbro 255 pump, stock tank, and brake lines for plumbing. Rubber hose is used on parts of the line that are not under pressure. its got lots of bends in it and is surely not ideal but it works.
cost me about $200 for the fuel system. spent $325 on the harness and PCM
