Anyone making LT1 swap engine mounts?
Hey everyone,
I am about to start my LT1 swap and I want to make this as easy as possible. Does anyone sell the required parts for this swap? Like the modified engine mounts?

Thanks,
Mark B

I was thinking more about the modification they need to mount the A/C compressor to it.

Cut, bend weld on one side of the clamshell, works just fine. If you can find a post by TexasLT1 he has pictures on his site how to modify the clamshell to work.
