Have you searched for an answer in the LSx swap section of this forum?

The precious owner had a big block in the truck, so I'm just going with what was there already. I haven't had a chance to really dig through the other section, made this post from under the truck last night while still trying to wrestle the engine in. I'll do some searching though.

I'm trying, for some reason it's not letting me upload them from my phone.

Upload them to a site like Photobucket first, then you can link them here.

More than likely it's the big block mounts or the clam shells. The both have to be from a small block Chevy because the ls is a small block chevy. There is a difference in the small block and big block clam shells.

Everything I have found online says the SBC and BBC clam shells are the same. How are they different?
