Both Autokraft and American Touring Specialties offer what you're looking for and both are very nice.

DO NOT use ATS mounts on an A-body. They cause all kinds of problems. PM for more info on my ongoing ATS nightmare.

Don't see how unless they sucked you into buying their $4000 accessory drive and $600 oil pan...


Because if you don't have those, the center link hits the oil pan and the factory A/C compressor supposedly doesn't fit either..

and that's Tylers fault............... ?? :rolleyes: Center link doesn't hit the pan, but I have his pan. I can see that you're upset but with me his stuff bolted right on. I wasn't trying to make a stock pan fit, and it's not his fault you tried to make it work. It's well-known with the older frames/subframes you'll be best off buying an aftermarket pan that's made to fit with the swap like ATS and Autokrafts stuff. Many try to make a stock GM pan of some configuration fit to save money, but you can't blame ATS for that; he sells a pan that works with his mounts as does Autokraft. As far as the accessory drive, same deal. You want the stock setup to fit. Well, I guess Tyler could have made the mount setup to lift the engine another inch or two up so the factory a/c compressor clears the old subframe, but then handling and hood clearance would suffer.

I can, and do blame ATS. NOWHERE does it say his pan or accessory drive is required for proper fitment. It says bolt on. Its not. He came right out on the PT Forum that he was going to change the wording of the ad. Of course, its still the same...


Typical for Tyler. The finger never points at him.

sorry you didn't ask enough questions or know that it required the other items. His accessory drive is not required, cause I don't have it. A friends 69 Camaro also doesn't have it with ATS mounts, and all GM front drive components. You can be mad at ATS, but might as well add every other LS mount company too, because all the ones I've come across are the same as Tylers. There may be one that works with the stock stuff, but I'm not aware of it. And if it does it puts the engine in a bad position as far as handling goes, but if the look is all you're after................
