I used a different brand, but same concept.
Only hitch is you can't use the LS1 AC compressor with them.

bolt holes aren't staggered they won't fit properly. You need ones like the car shop inc 1" setback plates

Re: will these LS swap engine mounts work?
the non-setbacks work, you just gotta notch more outta the kmember. i used them on my 5.3L. however, if you havent bought anything yet, go with the 1" setbacks, it'll put your engine and trans where they belong.

if you buy the right ones the first time, you dont have to mod. if you're going to buy the plates, get the 1" setback ones and be done.

Re: will these LS swap engine mounts work?
I hear ya, but I love to fabricate and weld so makeing my own would just be fun, but you are right, if i was to buy them, get the right ones the first time, im looking for measurements and info to make it a little easier. thanks
