Default Which engine mounts/plates- C4 wayne due/LS1

I have spoken with a few shops & searched this forum & others & cant really find an answer. Does the wayne due have the same style perch as the other aftermarket subs? I have read the stock F-body pan & accessoried will work, but nothing on mounts! Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure what your question is.

It looks like (based on a few pictures I've seen on line) that the Wayne Due subframe takes typical first gen Camaro style motor mounts. Are you asking which plates to use with an LSx engine, or something else?

I emailed you a pic of my subframe. It doesnt look anything like factory subframe.

I sent you a detailed response, repeated here for others:

You've got two choices for both motor mounts and plates. Motor mounts come in short wide http://store.summitracing.com/partde...utoview=sku%20 and tall narrow http://store.summitracing.com/partde...utoview=sku%20 - both should fit on the subframe, but the tall narrow locate the engine higher in the engine bay by about 1/2" or so. I'm going to be using the tall narrow's for my installation.

For the plates - there are plates that have the lower front bolt on the plate also serve as the bolt for the lower mounting hole of the motor mount http://store.summitracing.com/largei...trd-4572_w.jpg; and there are plates that have a separate set of three holes for the motor mount http://store.summitracing.com/largei...12611hkr_w.jpg (note the Hooker plates also seem to raise the engine slightly), which locate the engine about an 1" or so back from the first kind of plate. I'm going to try the 1" to the rear plates, but may have firewall interference issues with my headers.

Take a look at the links and you should be able to see what I'm talking about. You're probably going to have to take the plunge and get plates and mounts and mock it up, unless someone with a Wayne Due frame steps up.
