Lost and Found - LS3 6L80 NP205 Full Frame Off

[y5mgisi]

Well that should certainly work out.

 

[mattrains]

Well I tried to put the motor/trans in today.

Learned... Don't buy the holley clamshell ls conversion mounts.

That's all I can say about that.

 

[mattrains]

Oh and not to mention my ORD custom spring issues.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Ouch, some days are better then other days.

Frame looks really nice though.

 

[Teck]

That will change when you have weight on it.

 

[mattrains]

Maybe the front but the backs are 10" to short.

I've got to call ORD Monday.

 

[Teck]

Will they not bolt up at all?

 

[mattrains]

The rear leaf is 10" from the shackle. No way I can get it to reach.

 

[mattrains]

I did get these bad ass motor mounts and HD front shackles from ORD put on.

My only win for the day haha

i just went through this same issue with the engine mounts. the adapter plates mess up the engine mount alignment.

here's what i ended up doing.

Thanks. I'm going to try BRP mounts and see if those work. If not maybe dirty dingo. I really don't want to mess with the cross member.

Also. Had a little win today. Helpful info from the forum and I got the rear leafs on. ORD springs are so soft they take some muscle to stretch them out and bolt them on. I'm so used to the carriage springs that don't flex they just bolt right up.

Good to see that you got it to bolt together. All that will change with weigh.
As for motor mounts I use energy suspension poly in the factory clam shells with dirty dingo on the motor and it all fit with no issues.

I recommend using Diy4x mounts.

[drew4x4]

x2 on the DIY4x.

or i have a set of engine mount sliders i'll sell ya - not dirty dingo though, but meant for sliding the engine around... they've got better welds then dirty dingo. i'll send you a picture if you are interested.

 

[y5mgisi]

Is it just me or are your mounts in upside down? The little alignment tangs should be straight up and down no?

 

[mattrains]

No they were test fit on the motor before putting them on and I followed the instrauctions. They also match Tecks mounts.

 

[y5mgisi]

The frame side?

 

[mattrains]

Yeah. The frame side mounts are good.

I ran DIY's mounts in my K5.
And, have them in my C/10.

I highly recommend them.
