Engine set back ?s (and pics)
I found some info in the archives regarding using the rearward holes on the chassis rails to move the engine back by 2.5 inches, but the info there says to use the I-6 mount brackets to line up with the existing bottom hole on the X-member. Is there any reason why I couldn't use the V8 mount brakets and drill a new hole for the bottom bolt in the X-member. Also, any other problems to look out for? I am dropping in a L31 from a 99 Suburban with a 4L60E. Since I have to shorten the driveshaft anyways, I thought why not push the engine back some to get some weight off the nose. Here are some pics of the days work:
 The engine that I took out:  The cupboard is bare:  Thanks for any pointers!! Tim
