Re: lowering ls motor mounts?

Is your driveshaft running uphill or downhill? I just rotated my axle so the driveshaft goes uphill. I have it set at 2.5 degrees if I recall.

Re: lowering ls motor mounts?

I have the stock small block motor mounts in my truck with the ICT Billet adapter plates and my motor is at 3 degrees down. I have the Holley 302-1 pan which is similar in depth to the F-body pan I believe. I've never measured the gap from pan to crossmember, but its fairly close. There's plenty of room for comfort, but I don't think I'd want it any closer.

I may try swapping to those, I am using LSX Innovations adapter plates, they’re are virtually identical to the ITC ones

My truck is in bags and at ride height, it runs down hill (higher at the front, lower in the back) 1 degree
