Looking for feedback on LS Swap engine mounts that you guys have used. Would like one of the adjustable ones to give me some options for engine postion. Any brands to stay away from?

I used Dirty Dingo. They were the first sliders that I am aware of.

I have seen several people use these, they have 4 positions:

Check out the LS swap section and you can get lots info on the mounts and all the other swap questions.

if a guy is willing to build the stand side of your mounts, These will work with the stock truck style a/c bracket. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used these - "Billet Engine Swap Bracket SBC LS Conversion Motor Mount Adjustable Plate LS1 LS3 Adapter Motor 551628". Picked them up from Amazon. Inexpensive, adjustable, and both look and work great.

Doug_p, I also bought these but I haven't used them yet...did you used to orginal mounts and pedestals? What hole worked best for you? Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered a set from Speed Engineering, I will report back once I get the motor in

Hey flubyyou -
Yes I used them with the standard mounts and the stock bracket to the lower crossmember. Honestly I do not remember exactly which hole I used - I think it was the middle holes though . . .

Flubyu · 01-26-2018, 12:41 AM

Thank you Doug. I appreciate it.
