I've not heard of anyone swapping the new small block 427 into anything. Do you know of anyone playing with that motor? Looking at what you've posted elsewhere left me thinking you're the guy who would know.
One of my projects might be perfect with one of those...

There are a few guys on LS1tech doing it. Check out Johnb.. He has a Montecarlo SS that used to have an LS1 but is putting an LS7 in it.

I'm not seriously considering it right now, but it would be a good choice for a project about six or seven away from the top of my list.

I was intending to use factory brackets to mount my S-10 Blazer fuel tank in my '53/S-10 Frame. You gave me the idea of just making my own brackets.
Also, I was looking at your motor mounts. Are they just solid steel? I didn't see any kind of rubber or plastic insulators between the mounts and the frame. Perhaps there are some I couldn't see or just overlooked? Otherwise you'd think the noise/vibration would be pretty intense. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 97 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 97 | There are some polly ends in there. Just can't see them due to the frame mounts being in front of them. They are on the bottom of the sqaure tube coming off the plate that is bolted to the motor.
