What motor mount combinations did you guys use to get your setups installed??
Frame mounts, plates, motor mounts, oil pan, etc.
BESIDES the BRP kit which costs ~$500.....
I've seen in MOST applications whatever option they chose they had to add in spacers
to clear the front linkages. Just curious to see what others have done.
I've got a 2008 LY6 6.0L LS with a T-56 going into my 1970 442.
Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Olds, etc....no matter, just need to know what works.

I used the factory OEM ls1 F-body engine mounts and fabbed my own frame mounts from LS1 f-body frame mounts or they can easily be fabbed from scratch. Allows you to place the engine were you want it bolts right in.

Edelbrock plates & Headers (Discontinued)
GM LS2 6.0L CTS-V pan
Chevelle big block mounts & Energy Suspension engine stands or mounts
summit weld up cross member for double exhaust kit
Trans Dapt / Moroso / Energy Suspension & Hooker Headers all make Ls swap plates - it depends on what you want for a set back.
The Energy Suspension plates come with the Polyurethane mounts, make sure you get the correct ones.
The CTS-V pan is still available along with GM Performance #809-19212593K1
There are several kits with the pan, plates, headers & Polyurethane mounts, everything except the engine stands for about $850.
Just make sure you match the Polyurethane mounts with the engine stands
browse Jegs or Summit for ideas

I'm attempting this setup.....
$30 engine plates off ebay
Energy Suspension 3.1117R mounts
SBC Frame mounts that go with the above engine mounts.
Another A-body guy used the above with success.
I just got 1/4" spacers for the Frame mounts as well for oil pan clearance of the steering linkage.
I'm hoping the F-body pan works. Some said it does without a hitch, others said it needed mods.

check those ebay plates for weld quality, as if they're chinese-made you might be replacing them in short order
