Re: ls turbo build
That's kind of what I was wondering also. Wasn't sure if solid mounts alone would be enough to keep from flexing

Re: ls turbo build
You may still want to get some braided pipe in there somewhere. You will still have movement without a motor plate and chasing hot pipe cracks later wont be fun.
Just want to see you enjoy it!

Re: ls turbo build
Lookin' good! You're gonna love the turbo LS. I couldn't be happier with mine. It's unbelievable the torque they make once on the boost.

Re: ls turbo build
Looks good can't wait to see the finished product. Also if the Trubo is fixed to the frame and the motor has rubber mounts something will crack fast.

Re: ls turbo build
I see you used the POL tubular motor mount stands with the LS, how far is the engine sitting (forward/back)? I'm looking to out a LS in my 67 and I currently have those tubular engine stands, wondering which mounting postion brackets I should buy to have your current position
