Re: LS swap help??

Is it possible you have the stands bolted in the frame too far forward? There are multiple sets of holes there for different motors. That would be my first guess before even seeing the pics. Jim

Re: LS swap help??

Could you guys give me a measurement say from the head to the core support so I know how far back in needing to move. Would maybe help to start looking for my mistake. Thanks

Re: LS swap help??

You might set the cab in place, to help you with checking rear clearance? At that point, slide the engine to where it fits you (your truck) best Lots of ways to go, but it is a "make fit deal". Mine is slammed to the firewall (my preference), but you need to consider ac compressor fit , ect.? Best of fun...longhorn
