The mounts are the LS style for the Porterbuilt dropmember I have. What mounts do I need? Also which pan are you referring to?

are the original rims from a impala?

**superflysteiny** · 07-17-2013, 06:18 PM

Although f body should work. Are you off some were on the frame making the body sit lower then it should? If you shorten the mounts the pan may hit. That's were the cts-v will come in handy

The frame should be good I think it is just the amount we bodydropped it is causing the excess height with the engine and transmission. We can probably raise the mounts a bit but really kinda like where it is now. Can you elaborate on the CTS-V pan in comparison to the F-body? I thought the Vs pan was a bit larger then the F body, I thought the Fbody was the shallowest of the 2. Also lowering the engine mounts is not a option at this point due to the fact that as of now I can run my AC pump in it's stock location. Relocation of the AC pump is not a option right now due to the current pulley system and supercharger, there is not a kit to work with my setup. Nate over at porterbuilt did send me some new motor mounts unweld which I really appreciate. I'll probably us them to move the engine forward as much as I can. I know it's not much but anything helps!

Take a look at my build. I used the Holley LS brackets and made this work. PM me with any questions.

OBTW, nice build...

Also, hopefully this helps make some much needed room! Just came in today, thanks for the recommendation superflysteiny! So much easier then having one fabricated from scratch!

Also some Accuair goodies that have been waiting patiently

Thanks Rob, I'm going to have to message you in a few days when I can get on my home computer. It's a bit hard to do all this on a phone. I work out of town a few days a week.

Old firewall out, ready for the new one to be installed.

Supercharger definitely won't work with this bodydrop without cutting a hole in the hood. Not my style, supercharger for sale.

Twin turbos will fit underneath the hood just fine.....

**superflysteiny** · 07-31-2013, 01:02 PM

Best firewall you could have bought. I have done three of them and they are an awesome product and a huge time saver.

Ok, I love what you have done here! Great work! Will you be able to use that supercharger? I used Dirty Dingo adapter plates and 75 motor mounts. It worked great with my Z.
