Motor mount perch with cross member swap
What motor mount perches do you recommend with a 73-87 cross member swap and a LS?

I got some stock perches but they are about an inch taller than the frame

I cut the top off flush with the top of the frame and made a new top. There is no spacer and it looks more factory.

Re: Motor mount perch with cross member swap
Many people just make a 1" spacer to fill the gap.

Re: Motor mount perch with cross member swap
True. All depends on if they have the ability to weld or not.
