ATS adapter plates + stock fbody oilpan in stock sub??

[QSPres]

I hear you. I purchased the ATS system for the same reasons. Their wording:

"The plates allow a direct bolt in of an LSX engine into the engine bay of most GM muscle cars, and include all needed hardware, and optional polyurethane Energy Suspension engine mounts."

Is deceptive at best, and pretty much false when it comes to A-bodies, which, other than F-bodies, is my definition of "most GM muscle cars"... What it should say, or at least have a disclaimer about, is the fact that you can't use the stock oil pan or accessories with this kit.

After all, when it says direct bolt in, that should mean you take the motor out of a donor car/truck and bolt on the ATS kit and "directly" bolt it in the car. But, as we're finding out, it doesn't.


I have no problem with the quality of what ATS includes in the kit, but their write up on the product needs an overhaul.
