I'm going to be doing this swap and would like to know which motor mounts you used ?
Also, if your using a c-6 is there any clearance issues around the trans tunnel ?

What you see in the picture are the Crites mounts.I have the engine as far back as possible and I did have to open the tunnel up but that was for the trans shield for racing.I'm really not sure if you would need to do anything with it.Their cross member is a nice piece too.But I didn't use the fasteners.I drilled holes in the frame and welded in threaded bungs.You could use threadserts.If I counted right this is my 30th C6 in the car.The early 80's were real hard on transmissions for me.Or I on them.........
