Dirty Dingo EZ LS

I bought this for my LQ4:

..am going to run a TH400 with this crossmember:

and also a Moroso solid motor mount on my k-member.

My question is..since my car is backhalved and I have no torque arm, I'm just going to use the BMR crossmember which I assume bolts into the stock bolt location underneath. I'm assuming the trans bellhousing will sit the same location as whatever stock trans sits. If so, anyone know where the DD mounts need to be set for the stock location? Or is the best thing to do, buy a Th400, mount it and then adjust the brackets? (dont have a trans yet)..

Re: Dirty Dingo EZ LS

To line the BH flange of the LSx up with the stock SBC location, you want 1" setback. Those mounts adverse 2.5" forward adjustment and .5" rearward which will not work, but just looking at them, they appear to have ample adjustment to work

Either way, use the trans mount to set the engine location
