Yes, just my LT1/T56 combo. I used the Chevy mounts and holes in the factory subframe when switching from the 403 Olds/auto setup.

and that's a no.





Should it be though? I thought the tunnel was centered with the car and that because of the offset to the passenger side, the tail shaft, drive shaft, and pinion gear/rear end yoke would be offset in the tunnel as well.

Did a quick measurement of the trans mount location between the frame rails. It's currently offset approximately 1 inch to the passenger side.
