Re: engine stands

Just to clarify.... you are running the 89 Burb crossmember and suspension with the 67 6cyl stands?

When using the 67-72 6 cyl stands with a V8, the engine would sit back farther than if using the V8 stands. So using the following adapter plates should put the LS in a good spot. Although I am trying to picture it in my head if this would put the LS in the same position that the V8 would be with 6 cyl stands......

Yes, I swapped the complete crossmembera and suspension from the Burb, and now I am trying to get my head around if the "6 Cyl" perch idea will work with the LQ4. I don't know if there are major differences with the '89 crossmember over the '67. I know that I only had to drill two holes for it to bolt up. Thanks for the info on the plate. I looked at your build thread and saw that you had to do a little fab work for everything to work out. Nice build though!!
