I have adapter plates made by Tejas Steel works. I could not use them with my 2wd because my clamshells were too short. I painted them black, let me know if you are interested.

Re: K 10 LS conversion mounts

I like the one my buddy designed for his LS swap. It uses the factory LS truck engine mounts and lets you keep the factory LS truck ac compressor. It does require about 4" of lift for clearance though.
