Has anyone used Tin Works LS engine mounts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here is a link to the ebay ad for the frame mounts:

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Also, I will need an efi tank. I have seen mention of using a boyd welding tank mounted under the bed. That would probably be my single largest investment. Thoughts?

A little back story: I have spent the last couple of years building a house and can finally get back to my hobby. I have done a few trucks (which were sold) from the ground up but they were all conventional sbc/ bbc or 6 cyl trucks. I have decided to get on the LS “bandwagon” with the next build, as I have an LS1 out of an 02 Trans Am that i inherited when my brother passed away in 2016. It also has a 4L60e, which i am not a fan of, but it works. I might upgrade to a 4L80e or go to a T56 later,but I need to keep this low buck.

I have a 70 swb chassis that I swapped a complete 72 crossmember and rear axle under (for disc brakes and 5 lug). To give you an idea of my “budget”, i drug the 70 out of a pasture of a high school friend who needed to clean up. The body was rusted beyond recognition (Texas gulf coast). I gave him $200 for it. It had a nice tailgate that someone swapped on that I sold for $100. I gave a friend the 6 cyl and 3ott in exchange for him stripping the old body off, I sold the six lug drum brake stuff for $100, so I have $0 in the swb chassis. The 5 lug stuff came off a 72 parts truck i bought for $500. I sold the lwb bed for $250 and cab for $250. (So also a wash!) I still have the bare lwb frame if anyone needs one. I want to get the mechanicals out of the way then swap the clean cab and front clip I have off 70 3/4 ton and swb stepside bed i picked up a few years ago for $60 (no not a typo, $60, not $600. I was at the New Braunfels swap meet a few years ago and that is all the seller was asking for it.)

The truck that will be donating the cab and front clip has a 400/400, but it is tired and uses oil, and since I have the LS anyway...��
