Today I put the motor into my Chevelle and don’t know if I did something wrong. Motor is a 2000 Lq4 with a L460e trans. I used carshop brackets but had to change them around some to get them to work with what I have. On the pass, side I turn the bracket over and backwards yes I need to redrill the bracket but it looks good to go. Now everything lines up P/S pulley not hitting and the A/C on and not hitting the frame. It looks to good without hitting anything like most have going on so I don’t know if im doing something wrong.

That looks good. How about your exhaust? That is the next big thing to make sure fits. How about your driveshaft angle? Good job, by the way...

this is the motor mounts the first one is the drivers side the second one is the pass side that is on backwards and upside down

Scott, tell me which Carshop brackets you used P/N ? they have two diferent set-ups I believe. I have a truck LS2 with the same accessaries and was a bit worried that the Intake would be too tall to fit under the hood properly but I can see from your pictures that it should not be a problem, maybe now I can get some sleep !

Anyway nice going, keep it up! BTW is that an F body Oil Pan?

Thanks, Tony

I will have to look for my paper work to get the part number for the mounts but I also turn one backwards and upside down to make the A/C work. Yes it’s a F body pan but I did just had my car body off and only two front and two back bolts in the body so when I put the motor in I lifted the front of the car off the frame to get the motor in then let it back down. This let the motor drop right in

Yeah I notched my cross member to allow for a bit more room for engine placement. I am a little bit behind you for a test fit though and my body is not on the frame either so that height issue was troubling me.

Scott, did you turn the front wheels full lock in each direction yet? Another troubling spot is when the centerlink swings in it's arc, the inner tierod ends get very close to the oil pan. Just something else to confirm before you mount it permanantly.
Looks good though.

Well I have to eat crow, my trans was off by a 1 inch I tried to pull it over and the A/C hitting the frame. Looks like I may need to pocket out the frame after all.

Which F-body oilpan have that "crease" across the front of the pan ??. Its the first time I see such a pan. That crease might solve some of the interference problems I have with the passenger side tie rod on my 66.
