I picked up a 2005 5.3l + 4l60e for a 1995 Silverado RCBS. I am about to order the engine mount adaptors but I noticed that they are available in standard and 1" offset. I plan on using the stock driveshaft and I was wondering which is a better fit? I've read in a couple posts that the tranny crossmember mount must be loose when installing the engine so the tranny can pull forward when bolting to the engine.
Anybody try the 1" offset mounts?
Thanks, Rick
yea iv got the same question for my 1988 pickup. regular length or +1 offset? as soon as anyone knows let us KNO! thanks fellas
**** nevermind lol
Do the 1'' offset they place the motor in the stock location and you don't have to move the tranny crossmember. I just went through this a few weeks ago...
Thanks DBRODS. I'll order the 1" offset versions.
Did you get it fired up yet? What did you do for the AC?
Thanks, Rick
No I haven't fired it up yet. I wanted too this weekend, but ran into a few unexpected issues..Hopefully by next weekend is should be running...
can you wait that long? Being that close it would be eating at me. :lol:
I'm lost for words on that statement...LOLQuote:

Tranny crossmember mounting isnt a problem changing with me, i already had to move it when i did the th400 swap last year. I figured i might be movign it again anyway. no big deal just drill 4 new holes and make sure its sqaure in the framerails :)
