Engine mounts for GM’s popular LSx engines in the Volvo 700 and 900 series.
Fits Chevrolet’s small block Gen 3 and Gen 4.
Very stable engine mounts with double bushings per side to handle these heavy duty engines with lots of torque.
The mounts are made with several longitudinal holes to easily adjust how close the engine comes to the torpedo wall/front carriage beam and to still be able to easily disassemble and assemble the engine in exactly the same position as before.
You need a custom oil pan. We have chosen to start from an oil pan that Summit Racing sells, item no. SUM-G3610.
There are also copies to be found on e.g. Ebay (see scaled image).
This oil pan is very low but still has a good oil volume.
Because it is so low, we have been able to lower the engine to a good height. It is also affordable.

with V8 e.g. from Corvette or a pure custom intake so that it does not touch the hood.
The steering column ends up near the exhaust ports on the driver’s side. If you want to drive without a turbo, slim headers are needed.
For example. cast which are available from slightly different manufacturers. In the case of turbo conversion, you usually pull the pipes forward instead, and then there is no problem.
