Re: Sandy~~1984 C10 L86/4L80 build

Dog gone, can't believe its been that long since I have updated this. I reckon with the holidays and all that, time slips away.

Anyways pics/details of the progress...

Finally got the motor mounts from Jamie at MetalTek Fab up in Michigan. Met him at LS fest and he said he was workin on some LT mounts for a C10 using the Holley swap pan. Other mounts that I have used in the past put the motor up and forward, which makes the driver valve cover to almost touch the brake booster. Not to mention intake options are limited with the motor that high. Jamie's mounts put the motor down and back.

I had a spare L83 engine and a 4L80 trans case so I slid them in there with the new mounts. Worked with Jamie sending him pics and measurements along the way and he made a pretty darn good set of mounts. Also test fit the headers we got from Speed tech, absolutely zero issues with mounts or frame. We are also using a Stifflers rear 4L80 driveshaft loop too.
