which plates?

Squint real hard to see the dark blue!!

Dark Blue = LSX engine
Bright Red = CHevy truck side

I read on the LS1 swap sticky that if the 3 bolt part was moved to the front an inch, the driveshaft / crossmember changing would be minimalized. What do you guys think? Top is what some places sell now, bottom is what i will mock up in aluminum tomorrow(hopefully)




3/8 thick aluminum, countersunk holes on the red circles to flush mount whatever hardware i decide to put in. Once this part works, then i will put some "ears" on it make it out of steel and weld it *crosses fingers*

The best way to keep the transmission alignment is to make a set of mounts for mock-up, drop the engine in and mark where your mounts need to be to align properly. The 1" rearward placement is difficult to do if you're swapping an Fbody accessory setup into a vehicle. The alternator ends up interfering with the driver side frame/rubber mount.
