Newbie here guys, In the process of building a 72 SWB. Putting in a 6.0 LS with probably 4L80E. using the CPP tubular SBC mounts, which set of frame holes would I need to use. The front set or the back set to move motor back a few inches?
Thanks
DON

Do you already have the perches? They will set the engine on the front two perch holes, which puts the engine about 4" forward, how are you cooling the engine? If you don't I have a set I can't use, pm me if you are interested.

Already have them, just couldn't figure where t mount without motor present. Thought about using the stock radiator and shroud with ls truck fan if that will work. If not will go with aluminum radiator and electric fans. Any info in that area would be appreciated.
Thanks

go with the electric fan setup, never heard of anyone using the stock fan and shroud for this swap. also electric fan setup looks so much cleaner and free up more hp. (stock cluch style fan cuts back on ponies)

I am using an F-body radiator and E-fans.

there are alot of variables, you just need to get it in there and find out.

When you get ready for headers let me know, I am shipping the Doug Thorleys!
