hey i got a quick question about the motor mounts. could you just send me the specs on them. like the overall length of it going both from the kmember up to the engine and over. that would be really helpful cuz im in the middle of this build right now and it would be amazing if you had that info so i could weild up a pair. so im not doing it from scratch.

hi i am new to the forum. but you can get a MSD front mount distributer to bolt on the front and then you have to get a oil pump shaft.(the bottom half of the dist.)
cost bout 800 for the set up.

Default engine swap

im just curious on what pacesetters you had on that engine and you had mention that you could use ls mounts and just customize them, but the pic you put up you said was custom mounts. just curious because im currently in the middle of this swap and any additional info would be greatly appreciated. thanks for any info

cool build, almost did it myself, only complaint, some things look a little janky... like the swith panel and gauge panel, if you cleaned up the look of them a little but i think it would make a huge dif

Hey mate, having a hoist is handy!! I'm keen to see some pics. I need to know how much height i need to remove my standard dizzy with the cap off out of the block at 1 top dead centre. I have a roller cammed 355 in a 98 comaro, and im unsure if i can remove it to swap for an msd unit as mine is along way under the windscreen.

So i need block to capless dizzy measurement, can u help me???
