I'm taking the LS plunge!

Heya Dan. Actually yes I plan on selling those parts. I will offer everything up to whoever buys the motor first but I'm guessing I'll end up parting out once I have a motor buyer at which time I will try and sell the flywheel, clutch, weir belhousing, weir throwout bearing, tilton master, etc (but not the crossmember) as a kit.

First dibs if you part it out. Keep me in mind!

As far as I know Hooker plates put the trans in the same location as the SBC. At least that is the reason given for why they place the engine so far back. Be prepared for possible interference with your heater core if you still have one.

Just wanted to add that you were right Hooker does offer mounts to place the trans in the exact same position. They now make a variety of mounts to get the postion you want. I found the following link very hlepfull. Really helps you eyeball other brands and what they are likely to do. Seems to me if you can handle the potential interference, then having the motor back as far as possible is best. Of course the headers being matched to mounts are still advisable.

Here is the link I referred to before. The adjustables ones are solid mounts, no cushion. But I prefer solids anyway.

I think solid mounts will cause false hits to the knock sensors.
