ICTBillet viewed my photos and advised me to purchase new SBC stands because the car had a BBC in it and they use different stands. I got the stands in the mail only to see that I already have these same stands in the car already. About an hour later I received an email from ICT with a tracking number for a package and a note that said there was a shipping error originally. Turns out they have revised their mounts at some point and I got the older style. Look at the first photo in my previous post and compare to what they have online and you can see the difference, they dropped the bolt holes down a bit on the newer style adapter plates. The motor fit easily with these new plates. I also have both energy suspension mounts installed unlike the photos show.

Here's a shot of the newer style plates, kind of hard to tell by the lower section of the plate has been extended to allow for the bolt holes for the rubber mounts to sit lower. Also here's what is required for the vacuum pump to be installed, see cut DS plate, you must also eliminate the most forward mounting hole and your dreams of using that position. There are three positions on these plates and from what I was told over the phone the most forward mounting holes are for the stock SBC position, middle is 1.625" forward and furthest is 2.25" forward from stock position. Not 100% sure on these measurements as I was writing them down while on the phone with them. I found that the middle position more closely resembled the position of my BBC. I really do not think the most forward position would work either, it would put the head either in the firewall or too close for my liking. I think something in the middle would work great. The motor is currently jacked up at the rear of the oil pan and the motor is sitting level. Whenever I lower the jack and the motor more closely resembles the actual operating angle it moves it really close to the firewall and rests on the AC box holted to my firewall. I guess another way to see where it sits is to compare the balancer to the subframe.
