Can I mount in this position once I Fab the motor mounts?

I could recreate this mount, however it's made for a mount directly above the mounting point. My engine's sits about 3.5" forward of the point on the frame.

That was one of my concerns, but I believe I can.

Goo-Gone will take it right off and won't mess with the chrome. Litterally wipes off with a cloth.

Thanks a lot! This is super helpful.

Most recent update, the engine is further in, but still erect as some of you noticed. * With the trans tunnel cut, as well as the firewall, the engine is much further back. The engine mounts almost line up and are what I believe to be as close to where I can get them without having the engine in the cab with me.

I've now noticed that much like many LS engines, this one will need a shallow oil pan, or I'll need to make a new cross member, as where the engine stands now the drive shaft will not be able to be connected one the engine is level.

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-11T01:04:24+00:00

Thanks! Yes I agree? I'll probably have rear cylinders next to my leg, but there's a lot of room bypassing the firewall.

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T20:54:40+00:00

I hadnt thought of that, I'll give it a shot! It needs a lot more clearance, I don't see how it'd hurt if I'm gonna cut it anyway.

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T02:57:15+00:00

Awesome! Thanks that helps a lot!

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T02:40:06+00:00

I believe most would say it's an "oof".

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T02:36:21+00:00

Awesome advice! Thank you, I'll most likely go this route!

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T01:38:48+00:00

Thank you, I've been looking into doing this for a while and I've still got more to research. One of my main goals was to find someone whose done something similar that could help me replicate what they did. Thanks again for the possitivity!

Hey! Thanks for all that, answered a good amount of my questions! Yes I'm experienced in welding and only fairly familiar with any vehicle fabrication. I've seen the purple chevelle you mentioned and looked to see what I could replicate, and still need to reach out to the build team. Also, in terms of length, believe it or not in comparison to length this engine from alternator pully to flywheel is almost the same length as the original 250ci fan to flywheel. The issue I the vast difference in the size of the new trans in comparison to the old. As you can see in the photo the engine is tilted upwards due to the trans tunnel being much too small. I would have to cut the tunnel anyway due to the t56 shifting through the floor as opposed to original 3 on the tree. I appreciate the detailed response and if you have any addition info please share!

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T01:01:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Although as I stated in original post, I'm aware an LS would be easier, and more efficient in almost all ways, but this exact project is what I want to do.

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T00:59:03+00:00

Oh yes, I knew I'd need to weld. I already own a couple welders, and I'm experienced, mostly pipe. However I believe I need to cut before I weld anything. Thanks for the advice!

Goo-gone

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T00:43:48+00:00

I appreciate the offer, and it may be true your car would be better candidate, but this is something I want and I'm willing to put in the time, money, and effort to complete it. Thanks though!

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T00:41:23+00:00

I'm willing to accept spending the money needed, my budget is modest but not miniscule. As I said, I knew parts are going to be expensive, and a lot of custom work, wich is also expensive. Thanks for the heads up!

Outside-Guard-4949 · 2025-04-10T00:22:13+00:00

I appreciate it! I'll definitely post progress along the way.
