Engine mount selection

[bk_cauley]

What company (if there is one) makes a mount setup that will put the ls motor in the exact location of my current engine. i found 20 different companies that make them but through research they all move the engine forward. I am going to run my 700r4 and do not want to have to move it. And i dont want to have to go through the hassle of tryig to modify some to make them work. if i have to i will but would rather not.

And could someone tell me how im suposed to use THIS. does it make it where i can use my 700's flexplate and converter or does it make it where i use the ls flexplate and 700's convertor. just trying to get all of my ducks in a row.

Is the engine going in your 84 or something else? When I installed mine in my 90 I used the original location of the 700r4. And it sat in there with no modification to the plates.

He did it, you may try a PM. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...silverado.html
I know there is a couple more that have done on the 73-87 trucks. They may chime in.

i talked to him over on pt.net and he moved his engine and trans way forward. i think it was close to 4 inches. thank you for helping me look though.

I found that one in a search this a.m. he used a 4l60 and modified his crossmember though. finding someone who used a 700r4 in the exact same location as it was installed from the factory is gonna be harder than i thought.

If you bolt the 700r4 to the Gen III engine and then install it, it should work. Just use the 84's cross member as a guide. Bolt the trans to the cross member and the cross member to the truck frame. For this you will need the adapter plates installed.
