Now you just have to move the transmission X member to the rear 3"

Just seen this thread. I havr been running these brackets for almost 2 years now with 0 issues. They came raw metal so I just hit them with a little rustoleum and good to go. I also use the factory rubber mount and factory clam shell with these. If you set them back one inch it puts the trans in the factory spot. With my th350 and 4l60 the driveshaft went right in with 0 modifications. It literally took only these plates to bolt the ls in using the stock mounts and trans. Also the factory shifter linkage bolted right up to both transmissions. Hope this helps anyone else looking at these out. They made the ls swap a piece of cake.

What type of fan are you using?
How much clearance do you have on the cylinder head on the passenger side head to firewall?
Did you not move the X member for the trans to the rear?

some mounts have a hump and youd need to grind off the hump, so this mount has the middle removed so you dont have to modify the mount. so its not pointless, its actually well thought out.

and if you have access to a welder, for the price of the mounts you can make your own for under 20 bucks.

i was gonna make my own, but the hour or so to run to the metal yard, and another two to cut and drill them it was easier to work an extra hour or two at work and get them off ebay for $40. plus if they were ****ed i'd have someone to be upset with other than myself.

Did you not move the X member for the trans to the rear?with the th350 no. With the 4l60 yes that was the only modification required when swapping from the th350.

@ ivorton74, yes it does thanks you. I am having a issue though. my clam shells do not line up with the rubber mounts on cross member. its about an inch past were it needs to be to push bolt through. Also do these clear low mount ac when utilizing the 1 inch set back location ?

ivorton74 · 08-28-2014, 08:57 PM
