You can either get a manual crossmember and modify it yourself or get one from BMR as stated above.

The manual and automatics use the same four bolt holes to mount their crossmember.

There is the link to the shifter thread.

 

Sorry for not posting sooner, I was on the annual hunting expedition. I ended up fabricating engine mounts for my car. Later I learned that the v6 engine cradle mount holes are different than the v8 cradle. If I were to do it again I would try using the 3rd gen engine mts, and drill the cradle to match the mts. That way you can locate the engine where you want it.

 

I would of just used motor plates.

"Uh, "ok". This motor has more than 170 RWHP, and was in both my 3rd gen camaro, and my 1957 chevy. Which is a hella lot heavier than any camaro EVER made. (4800 pounds) and it moved that baby pretty damn good, so line yours up, and we'll see how your 6 banger works for ya!! But the point of this is not speed, I don't need to act big and bad like I used to. I have a big ol' jones and I don't need to race everybody to prove it, any doubts? ask my girl, hehe"


um,, didn't you say earlier to imagine a "stock" 350 or 400? late 70 "stock" 350 had about 150 at the engine. b4 the "stock" thing you said "built to the hilt". SSSSOOOORRRRYYYY, i am getting confused because i read two different things in the thread.

also, you said "...and we'll see how your 6 banger works....". huh? what six banger? what the hell are you talking about. i just wanted to understand why you are doing this. you said to cut down on maintance. dude a carb is ten times more maintanence than f.i. easily. granted a fi setup is harder(more expensive) to get tuned well, but once it is tuned, you can forget about it. a carb, especially a holley, needs to be tuned everytime the temp changes. here in texas that is like three times a day. i have an 85 blazer with a sbc 350 innit. i carry around at least four sets of jets, so i can change them when the truck starts to run crappy. and how much money have i spent over the years to replace blown power valves? more than the carb cost. (ok, most people aren't **** enough about their cars to actually do this, but i do, cause i want to be ready for a race anytime.)

i am not trying to tell you not to do this, but the STATED reasons you gave for the swap are false. not only that, but your mpg will drop from c.20 to c.10. if this is gonna be a strip only car, go for it. but if this is your daily driver, you might wanna rethink the whole carb thing.

you want info? o.k. old skool motor mounts will bolt right up to an lt1. ANY motor mounts will "fit" on the block. will they "fit" in the chassis is the hard question( one that i can't answer cause i don't own an f-body). the only way to answer is to try it and see. you will have major probs with the dizzy. it is all jsut a matter of time and patience.


give me about two months and i will race you. you think i hang out here because i have a conquest with a stock motor? roflmao. think about my username buddy. think some more. ok, stop, go ask your gfriend, maybe she can explain it. sigh.



click the link. do you get it now?????
