72 c/10 ls-1 motor mounts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

battles72ls-1 · 06-06-2006, 10:05 PM

I am Installing a 99 ls-1 in my 72 c/10. I need info on my motor mounts and oil pan and any other info I may need in this installation. I also need any info on lowering my rearend my truck has leaf springs. I was going to put my rearend on top of my springs to give my truck some lowering. I have two and a half drop spindles in front. Bags or what? Thanks

I bought 4 inch drop leaf springs fron early classic enterprises. They worked better than putting the rear end on top the springs. And it rides very good.

I really can't give you any advise on the swap since yours is a 2wd and they are different entirely. I can tell you that I used the S&P mounts and they worked fine but they moved the motor about 1.5 inches forward (compared to where the bellhousing would originally be). And I used the stock 6.0 truck pan but it just touches my engine cross member on both sides. After giving it some thought I wonder how using a BB crossmember would work in a 4x4 application?
