Ls swap leaning back to far.

Anyone else running into their ls swaps leaning back to far? I have dirty dingo mounts installed. Factory transmission cross member and factory mounts. The engine cover and the intake tube rubs my hood.

Wow! That sitting high. I used some cheap ebay mounts and it looks factory. Something looks wrong. Is yours 4wd? Is the trans cross-member in?

That does seem off, from what I've seen the Dirty Dingo mount's should located it at the same height as the Gen I small block.

It looks to be not only tipped extreme, but high as well.

It's 2wd and the cross member is in. Ive been trying to figure this out for a while now. It needs to come down in the front.

What are those mount's for, the frame side and clamshell? That looks to be the source of the problem, they look quite high.

The mounts you have now look like the 58-72 mounts

They are for this truck a 98 Sierra. I pulled the clamshell off the 5.7 that was in here.

Are those good mounts. I have been looking at those. The plates came with my engine when I got it. So I just slipped it in
