Default LSX into a 70 chevy P/U

Hey guys I am going to be putting a 5.3 into an 70 chevy P/U. I am trying to find a way to mount it. Is there anyone out there that has made a motor mount swap for the LSx engines into these trucks around this year. Or is it just purely fabbing the motor mounts.

Has anyone done this?

BTW I am serious about this, dont think I am trying to waste your time I just need to find a way to mount this BIATCH!!

Blown probably has something found. I was looking for similar mounts the other day and I noticed that JEGS has some made by TransDapt that are supposed to adapt any small block chevy style to LSX engines. You might check into those. Be sure and post up any you find, these powertrains would be sweet in these lighter weight trucks.

Look for "shifty" on 67-72chevytrucks.com He's done the swap on a 68 and is a great guy.

I've had MANY thirdgen Camaros and Steve's parts don't fit very well, nor are they cheap. I know many others who have had good luck, but my personal experience has been negative.

Make your own so you can put the motor right where you want it https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...=379097&page=2
