Engine Mounts

[PaulF]

I have just installed an LS6 into a Euro chassis. All very straight forward, but it appears that the engine mounts need modifying for the standard exhaust manifolds to fit. Just thought I would check before I get the angle grinder out.

Also does anyone have a build manual they let me have.

What `standard ` exhaust manifold are you using ?
The engine mounts would not normally get in the way of the headers as they normally sweep back.
I managed to fit my mounts the wrong way first time, pushing the engine too far forward. The engine rear drivers side is very close to the chassis as a guide.

Trevor, thanks for your reply.

The manifolds are the standard LS6 cast iron exhaust manifolds. I'll take another look at the fitting of the engine mounts, but I think there was only one way to fit them.

The top of the rubber mounts is in the way of the bottom of the manifold.

I will try and sort a photo this afternoon. From memory there are 3 pairs of fixings so you can use the front set or the back set of four.
If any help I have my original cast iron set plus I have a set of tight tuck headers which will fit fine if you have standard oil pan.
You are welcome to try them.

Paul,

Glad to hear your chassis and engine are now a couple. I'd better ring Andy and get him to delay your body, otherwise you'll beat me onto the road...
