Spent some quality time in the garage yesterday and was able to complete a couple of tasks. This update seems to be growing, and frankly, it has already become a little overwhelming, but I am trying to stay motivated and take it one step at a time.
With the old front lower control arm out of the way, it was the perfect opportunity to install the new Holley LS swap engine mounts.

With the nuts easily accessible from the bottom, the old frame stands came right off.

New stands go in place and once again, the easy access makes putting the nuts on very easy.

This is a nice shot that compares the old frame stand on the driver's side with the new stand on the passenger side.

Part of this whole project was to use these Holley mounts. They place the engine as low as possible in the front cradle, which offers better driveline angles. The other benefit is that they use the 4th gen Camaro style engine mounts, which are excellent.
