Now can anyone tell me if these mounts will be fine for clearance ect... with the adaptor plates shown, if not can some one send me a link to the adaptors i need, thanks very much ryan also i will be running a auto transmission if that makes any difference

i don't think you want to offset the motor back with the BD. I have a 5.3 in my 93 that is bagged/SFBD with the transdapt factory location mounts (4572 i think?) and the schoenfeld LTs. When i did my BD i set the cab back 1/2" to center the front wheels and close some of the gap between the bed and cab. On the passenger side i had to make a small mini-tub for the header as i was shy about 1/2" in one spot. Since your BD is traditional, you may have gained that room depending on where your cut line is.

ok cool is there a link to the standard mounts? when i type that part number in google it comes up with a fair few different types of engine mounts! also what power steering pump is used on the ls1, the one off my engine or the factory one off the ls1?

I ordered these (1" set back). He also sells the non setback version.

They haven't shown up yet so I can't vouch for quality or fitment just yet. Guy has good feedback....and how hard could it be to mess up a 5/16" steel plate?

thanks simple green! have sent the seller a email, he says he does not do international shipping but im hoping he will as i am going to buy a set of 1'' set back ones and a pair of the normal ones.
