Hey LS fans

im currently working on swapping a 5.3 into a 97 chevy suburban
I orderd some motor plates from wisner machine works off of ebay.
What motor mounts will work with these motor plates?


thanks

Not sure what you mean, but i know most guys use dirty dingo motor mounts on their swaps.

Your motor mounts will work perfectly with those. You will bolt the plate to the LS block then the clamshell from your obs block to the new plate then your factory clamshell will sit down into your stock motor mount and you are done. Did you get the 1inch setback mounts? If you want to put your trans in the stock location and use your factory driveshaft then you need the 1inch setback ones.

I wish I had known that. I bought plates that stated "puts engine in the standard position". To me, that says it puts the bell housing face of the engine in the same spot as the original 350. When I went to install the trans, my tranny mount was forward of the crossmember by 1". I ended up slotting the holes in the crossmember with a die grinder. The rear driveshaft still worked and the front driveshaft barely fit in, but it worked. The 1" forward position ended up helping me fit the original 6.0 exhaust system into the OBS chassis.
I guess it's live and learn.
