The engine side clamshells must be from a SBC. One of the LT1 clamshells is completely different (pass I think)

Re: 84 camaro LT1 Swap help

Ok so you have to use stock mounts and there is no way to use the solid mounts

Re: 84 camaro LT1 Swap help

No. You can use solid mounts. Likely you have one side mounted too far back. there are two sets of mounting holes on the k member.
