Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum and I thought I'd post up my progression with my truck so what I have in mind so far and what I will be doing is a engine swap I'm gonna be putting a LQ4 with a 4l60e tranny. I unfortunately will not being doing the work being that I am in the military and never have a set schedule, makes it hard for me to find the time to finish projects. Anyways any thoughts before I go through with it any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Buy some Dirty Dingo motor mounts. They are adjustable and it gives you (or the builder) to option to slide it forward or backwards as needed.
