Re: 388bu's LQ4 swap thread
Like a glove! The motor is sitting nice between the fenders now.
So I decided to move my motor forward about 3/4" from where I originally planned to put it. This puts the T56 3/4" further forward from where it was with the SBC. My driveshaft was border line too long anyways, so this works out OK. The passenger valve cover was just too close to the A/C box for my liking before. So as the motor sits now, its about 3/4" back from the position it would be in if you took the transdapt 4592 mounts and just bolted everything up like stock.
Since I moved the motor forward, the f-body pan wouldnt work any longer. I ordered a CTS-V pan and it came in today. This damn pan is, in my opinion, THE pan for a g-body swap. I have about 1" between the sump area and the crossmember under the engine. It hangs down about 1/2" max below the crossmember, thats it.
The f-body alternator is close to the P/S pump, but still plenty of room. New pics at http://flickr.com/photos/388bu/sets/72157607400245239/
Now if my McCleod flywheel would arrive, I can start buttoning this thing up.
