LS1 swap ... stuck again

[shifty]

Ok, update - I got the mounts drilled out ...Got the mounts mounted...got the engine sitting right on the mounts and ready to bolt down, then I started balancing the engine+tranny out and ... THE TRANNY DOESN'T FIT! Looks like with my particular setup I need a high-hump. This kinda explains why I had so many damned problems getting that bugger in the first couple times. The dang thing would never really balance out right. And so many people here gave me crap about it

So this makes setback number 5,000,000.

I might cut the tranny hump out just so I can get that bad boy mounted in there and secured. Will allow me to move onto other things while I try to find a high hump mount. I really kinda liked having the low hump though.

For those interested, I'll post links to what I'm talking about and include them on the post as attachments also just for reference.

This is where the tranny smacks into the hump. Mind you, the engine is sitting nearly perfectly to be bolted in - if only the tranny would lift another 2-3"....



Here's a picture from the other side .... note the tranny is sitting right on the hump...



I can't even get it up on the crossmember. I'm about 1" away from accomplishing that feat - and the tranny won't jack up another inch....



Otherwise, I'm really happy with the fit and these ECE GenIII motor mounts are pretty kickass. They fit perfectly, no install problems at all. I'm overall very happy still.

I'm also very excited to get up and running with this thing
