63 c10, installing a LS engine

Here is a pic of my drive shaft

2 of the holes are beveled so that you use a tapered mounting bolt into the block behind the motor mounts. if I flip the other way the beveled holes are in the wrong spot. I called POL and asked and he said that it was mounted correctly but another set of plates I purchased that said they put the motor into the stock location are the same as these ones in the full engine forward position.

I used ebay plates on mine that locate LS to stock location and all my holes were countersunk...they had both stock location and 2in forward

I may have to counter sink opposite holes myself, just wanted to make sure before I messed something up. I think ill send pics to POL as I'm sure they will look into the issues for me????

looks like your trans mount needs flipped around so the mount tab is on the backside of the crossmember

surely they'll help you out...was there a right and left side to the mounts?

I believe the trans crossmember needs to be flipped around so that the tube is forward of the mount. But I have never used an aftermarket trans crossmember.....plenty of factory crossmembers to be found that work just fine.
