Motor Mount Adapter Help
Hey guys...I am working on a LS swap for my 85 Chevy c10 2wd. I just bought an 86 that has a 2005 6.0 and 4l80e already in it. I am going to use it as a parts donor for mine. When trying to get an idea of where he left the project, I was asking the guy about all the parts he put in it. When asking him about which adapter plates he used to mount the motor mounts, he said "It just sat down in there man and bolted right to the stock mounts." I'm starting to think he didn't do much of the work. Here is a picture of the stock motor mounts bolted to what appears to be the adapter plates...I'm new at this so I need a little help identifying what adapter plates these are or if I'm even looking at the right thing. Anyone know which ones these are? Thanks for your help...this forum is awesome!

Re: Motor Mount Adapter Help
lol... I don't know either. I know he didn't just bolt the stock motor mounts up to the block, but I don't know which adapter plates he used. Apparently, he doesn't either. I would just like to know exactly which parts were used. The driver side has something engraved in it too but I can't see what it says. I think it may say LS1 too.

Re: Motor Mount Adapter Help
Can anyone tell if this has the motor sitting forward or back? Any estimates on how much? This picture is taken from the front of the engine looking towards the rear on the passenger side. I know this is a strange question, just trying to get all the details worked out.

Re: Motor Mount Adapter Help
Take a pic directly from the side looking at the front of it with the rad in the pic as well and tell us what the distance is inbetween the block and your rad.
Then do the same in the rear between your block and the firewall. Then say whether you are going to use a mechanical fan or an electric fan set up. Then we might know enough info to help.

Re: Motor Mount Adapter Help
those look like the standard "swap adapter" plates, with the exception that they have an additional plate of thickness welded on at the mount point....and I'm not sure why. From what I can tell, the engine is sitting forward 1-2"
