Sure do in my garage. PM me I have a set although I don't think they will work as they place the motor to far forward, at least that was the case with my 67 Chevelle.

Great thread. I'm very interested in seeing what the weight is after the swap.

Got the motor in on Saturday. What a piece of cake. The 4L60E that was in there had to move forward about 3/4" and that was that. The only interference issues I have is the left side header hits the brake junction block, the transmission lines have to be rerouted, and I have to move the washer tank heh, heh.
A few more pics:
Empty bay with new Chevelle small block motor mounts installed.
Down it goes.
In.
The front end barely went down at all with the LS motor. Seriously. It was about this high without an engine. Going to have to see about some new springs...
So, really that was the easy part. Now comes all the plumbing, wiring etc. That's what's going to take me until spring!
P.S. Does anybody know where to get a power steering pressure hose that goes from my box to the pump? Are there any issues with a new style pump meant to power a rack now plugged into a box? I understand racks need less PSI...

Small block Chevelle frame brackets and motor mounts. Edelbrock adapters. Elongated the holes (downwards) 1/8" per Edelbrock's instructions.

I assume this pic shows the Kwik AC relocation bracket installed. Is the alternator relocated as well, or using stock bracketry?

Randy, we've been so busy moving snow all we did was get the engine dropped in. I need to get this done by May! Gonna have some long nights I think. Swing by, and I'll show you the car anyway.

Looking forward to your comments once you get to drive it. Like to go this direction with my 68 bird in the future.

Got a few more things done.
Transmission cooler installed.
Fuel line run to tank
P/S lines done (bought a C5 pressure line, cut the fitting off the end, reflared it with the nut off the old line going to the box)
Got most of the hoses on with Napa shrink fit hose clamps
Got the engine wiring harness installed - have to wire to the car though!
ECU is going to be mounted right behind the RF headlight onto the inner fender (tucked up and out of the way)
Replumbed all the brake lines since I had to cut the combination valve off the inner frame rail because the header was hitting it. That and my new disc brake setup requires a prop valve.
I still have finish the wiring, then get some pipe bent up to the header collectors and I can start it. Then I'll start on suspension, brakes, rims/tires.
Yes I know it's a universal hose. I hope to find a real one to fit in the future!
AFX spindles finally showed up!

Did you have to drill holes in the cross member to install the small block mounts, or were you able to utilize the factory holes for for the original Pontiac mounts?
Thanks
