LS1 or pontiac 400 in My 89 RS

OK first the LS1 ive been reading on the motorswap board and my only problem now the mounts ive heard there are custom mounts i can buy where i can get them i have no clue if anyone knows where i can get them your help will be appreciated.

Now the 400 ive heard that i should have enough room for a chevy 400 to fit snug in but i dont know if it is for SB or BB chevy and i dont want to find out this thing won't fit after trying to put this thing in. If anyone can help thats tried and know how much its gonna costs or what kind of mounts or what kind of room under the hood i actually have it would help alot thanks.

I don't know about the LS1, but the 400 is no problem. The small block Chevy 400 is externally the same as a 350 or 305. It would pretty much drop right in.

Do not know who makes the mounts, but it's not hard to have some fabricate them. The LS1 $wap is not cheap, however it's worthwhile. The guys who have done them run high 11's and low 12's with stock engines and still get 22mpg!

The LS1 Swap has been a though of mine for a long time. I have done every single bit of research on this swap into a 3rd gen. E-mail me at twiztidz28@yahoo.com or catch me on aim my screen name is twiztidz28. easy enough. i can tell you who makes the motormounts for the ls1 swap to who can make and customise the best wiring harnes. and also where to get the best package depending on what trans you want. these are complete packages i am talking about all you have to do is wire it up and turn the key. if i can come up with about 9k for the motor, trans, and install plus goodies i am doing this. please e-mail me and i can direct you on your way to the ls1 of your dreams. i sound like a damn salesman.
