BTW, I visited Early Classic, but did not see their Gen III motor mount offering for 73-87s, (only the 63-72s)???

The confusion is they are basically using engine stands from the 73-87's for the 67-72 kits. All you need on the 73-87's is the actual motor mount. They are really proud of them too.

Yep, there are a number of stuff coming out for them. The 1 piece windows just came out at the beginning of the year.

Thanks for clarifying, Chris.
Kinda what I thought. $$$$
I know others like Street and Performance, Art Morrison, etc. will sell just the motor mount plate. I've heard of others making them using 1/4" plate steel. It doesn't seem to difficult to fab a couple up.

They sold me the mounts seperately, but they were $129.
I was going to make some, but I wanted to get this running ASAP.

Thanks, Chris.

BTW, are you using any type of LS6 shop manual or ??? for reference?

The engine came out of a 2003 crew Cab silverado. I got a complete wiring schematic from GM for it for the whole truck.
