Transmission mount and LS motor...

What did you 2wd guys end up doing to make a 4l60e work with the factory trans crossmember?

Re: Transmission mount and LS motor...

I drilled some holes in the frame and slid the crossmember where it needed to be. I'm running swap headers so I had to change trans linkage to something more standard.

Same here, I'm even using a $6.50 TH350 trans mount.

nope. Ls setup, unknown factory stands, possibly swapped from l to r, sbc mounts, s&p plates. Pass side coil less than an inch from firewall.
