Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Note that I moved this out of the sticky where you posted it. "Pontiac V8" means the heritage Pontiac engines, which ended at the beginning of the 3rd gen era.

And, I moved it to the "LTX and LSX" engine swap sub-forum.

Are you trying to use the 3rd gen engine side mounts, or the LT1 engine side mounts? If the latter, try the former.

 

thanks i am new at this and still figuring it out! LOL well yes i am using the 89 mounts because they are the same out of 97 caprice i got the motor from.

 

Thats normal for the mounts. LT1s use one oddball and one classic SBC mount. The LT1 mount will not work, pull them off and lay them side by side. Youll spot the oddball

 

but what is the oddball one? when i go to oriles auto parts what do i ask for!

 

Umm, try a $5 JY mount
