Trick question?

If I were in your shoes, my first phone call would be to PA Racing.

Re: HELP WITH LS1 SWAP

The most common engine position uses 1" back from the common SBC adapter plates like these


If you're moving it up 1", then use the generic adapter plate that classic muscle cars use like these


So get generic SBC mounts for a 3rd gen and use the standard adapter plates
