You will need to get some fabricated at a metal shop. You won't find a solution in some parts bin for this. -
Are you sure? I may be wrong, but I thought that the LT1 used the same bolt pattern as gen1 SBC. Shouldnt the V8 motor mounts from the Chevelle work?Originally posted by Bond Hawk

Is it possible your Chevelle originally had a V6 and the V6 motor mounts are wrong?Tracy

According to Hot Rod, they needed to fabricate the motor mounts on their LS6 Chevelle project. If they had to do this with an LS6, you are probably looking at something very similar with an LT1.

You're probably thinking of the LS1 not the LT1. The motor mounts might be the same from 1st gen. to 2nd. gen. engines.'95 Formula A4, 17"x9" wheels, F1 275/40-ZR17, TB bypass, 160 deg. TS, LS1 drive shaft, WS6 muffler, LCA, tie rod Soon to be LT4 heads intake and HOT cam.Comment

I'm thinking the LT1 should bolt right in with the correct V8 motor mounts.Tracy
