Well, it seems I just can't effing win. Wasn't happy with the lack of header clearance with the CPP tubular motor mounts I was using with my LS1 swap, so late last year I ordered the Gen3 mount setup from Early Classic. Now six months later the weather is finally decent enough to work on it again, only to discover that not only are the ECE mounts not a direct bolt-in but, MUCH worse, the emmeffing oil pan reportedly won't clear the crossmember with the ECE mounts.

Anyone wanna buy a project? Gawd, I'm pissed....
