i'm using some from TransDapt. Got em from SummitRacing.com . You reuse the stock clamshell mounts. These plates just bolt between the clamshell and the ls block. i'm doing a 93 K2500 pickup.

What ever happened to your other suburban project??? https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...y-ride-490180/

There have been other engine swaps in the OBS trucks, but I am not sure if any one DD them. I was looking through the old builds to see what i could find.

the other suburban , the 03, the floorpan and fire wall was wasted (a/c box pushed through the glove box should have been a clue to me) so basically it wasnt worth fixing

Trans-Dapt #4575, it says 1" back but with these I was able to reuse my stock driveshaft and the Schoenfeld long tube swap headers fit perfect without any fitment issuses
