Bit of an update for you guys.

Code 504 LS series mounts. This is the passenger side mount and its components.



Mounted to the block



Getting the drivers side bolted up to the crossmember. (missing third and final bolt in this pic)




Motor/Trans in.



Few more shots. This shot shows how the A/C compressor will need relocated. Common with how far the engine must sit with the S10 swap.



If you look closely in this photo, you'll see one of the issues that needs taken care of. With the trans mount in the only position it could possibly work, the pan of the trans hits the crossmember itself and prevents the mount from making contact with the crossmember. Im going to notch the crossmember/reinforce it and should be good to go.







Overall: The mounts are nice. Simple but effective, nice quality. The only other issue other than the A/C and trans crossmember is the truck oil pan has way too much depth to it and is preventing the frame from airing out all the way. F-Body or Holley LSX conversion pan should fix this rather easily and gain some nice clearance for driving low.

Unfortunately, I don't have the headers, steering shaft, and the cab isn't currently installed so no pictures of those things. Supposedly these mounts set the back of the heads 1" from the firewall. Should have that all taken care of sooner than later.
