Big block vs small block engine stand
 

I am putting an ls1 into a 71 gmc blazer. Originally a 6cyl 3ott.

My customer provided mounts. Cpp sliders, Cpp BIG BLOCK sheet metal stands, and a cpp tube trans cross member.

My question is whats the difference in bic block vs small block stands? which one sits lower or taller?

The big block stands have more exhaust clearance.

They do look like they have plenty of room for exhaust. But it seems like the engine is sitting too high. I am trying to find out if the big block mounts make the engine sit higher than the small block mounts would.

Yes, the BB stands do set the engine a little taller in front. If you can get the drive line angles right, I would not worry about it? longhorn

Looks like I will need a pretty big spacer at the trans mount to line it up. Do you know how much taller the big block stands are?
