Did this crossmember fit?

Super close, closer than the ATS. I'm working with Bowler transmission to work that one.

Not exactly, the crossmember' forward bolt hole is put in the center hole on the frame. I would need to drill holes in the frame, not quite ready for that.
If anything I'd redrill the holes you need in those ATS plates that you have. 1 hole on each side?

Are the frame plates identical?

Could they be swapped/reversed for a gain?

Is DSE the only choice for mounts on their frame?

Yes, unless you want to start fabbing something. The second gen frame stands are really far back on the crossmember, it actually positions the urethane mount behind the crossmember.

Yeah, it's weird. I will have to snap side by side comparisons to the stock frame

Is this an LS engine install???

badazz81z28 03-16-2015 08:34 PM
Yes sir, it is

GregWeld 03-16-2015 08:41 PM
Could it be that the engine mount adaptors --- assuming there are these being used -- are mounted incorrectly? There have been many threads on Lat G discussing this -- and it seems that mounting them "one way" versus the other sets the motor forward or back. This "might" explain the lack of fit at the tranny.... IDK. But it was worth asking.
