BRP hot rod LS swap kit?
Has anybody ever used them? I've read mixed reviews about them. I have a 5.3 and 4l60 waiting to drop in my 66 c10. Im trying to find the most "bolt up" kit or mounts that I can. I'm a mechanic but have no easy way to weld or fabricate too many parts in my garage.

Re: BRP hot rod LS swap kit?
I would go with the ICT Billet LS mounts. from summit # ICB-551628 $34.95
They bolt to the Ls block and reuse the stock SBC mounts and relocate the motor forward I have used 3 sets so far and work perfect. Mark...

I used the Dirty Dingo mounts, brackets, etc. on my El Camino build. But, they are way more money than the ones mentioned earlier. I will check them out myself for a future build.

Thanks everyone for the input. I went with the ict mounts mentioned earlier. I pulled the engine and trans out Monday and I'm hoping to have the new 5.3 in to test fit everything this weekend.
