Need motor mounts for 71 Firebird LS swap with TKO 600 - Lateral-g Forums

I'd use the entire Holley/Hooker setup, i did and everything fits good. My headers are a little low for my liking but we're working on a solution for that.. But i'm not sure how the crossmember would fit up as those are design'd for a t-56. There are some good posts on NastyZ28 (which is a 2nd gen Camaro forum) but your info for that would be the same....good site with a load of good info....

Thanks Mike! How low is your car? I want mine to sit as low as possible and still be drivable.

My car is slammed, well pretty low, the headers sit 2.375 at there lowest point, which is fine....

If you decide to use Stainless Works 2nd gen LS swap headers they come with the correct engine mounts. If you would like me to price a set for you shoot me a PM

Glassman, any photos of your engine bay? I tried to sift through Nasty....not much luck.

Which Holley mounts did you use? I don't want the engine sitting too far forward.

I notched my crossmember so I could sit low enough and give the pan plenty of clearance. I made my own mounts for the engine and trans, took a few hours but was worth it.
