@azcrackshot perhaps there's enough of a difference in the accessory drive system on the L33 mentioned above and the LS3? Seemed like the mounts were fine except P/S interference?
My buddy is a professional welder and I'm not so bad myself. I can't justify 500 bucks for plate steel shipped from Australia. I'll probably go this route too.
Do you happen to have pictures of what you made?
Why would the Marks mounts work for one LS and not another? Are you suggesting that because of your accessory drive system (space made available) your engine may have been sitting too low? Bad mounts from Marks?
I posted earlier regarding at least CO emissions...CO goes by whatever is newer...engine or vehicle. In my case, it doesn't even have to be an erod. It could be any other engine that'll pass emissions and is 'suitable' for a 'light truck'.
Why do they have to make all of this BS so...
Anyone with an erod (LS) have any issues with the Chevrolet issued accessory package? I suppose from looking at pictures, the only issue would be (perhaps) the starter and A/C compressor?

Awesome. I suppose that means I'd just need to get some new Toyota Rubber mounts or use mine if they don't look too bad.
Anyone have the Toyota PN for the rubber mounts handy?
I am not. Not for any reason other than the Erod doesn't come with one. I feel like the LS community is all about...
That'd be awesome to put my eyes on a few problem areas before getting into this. I'm good enough with problem solving, but it always helps to have some foresight.
The link that azcrackshot posted is the set it need. PN is MFK1765EM according to the marks site. I'm super lost on all of this...
Considering the time spent on making yours fit, would you opt to have drop brackets fabricated if possible? I have the ability to weld up my exhaust myself, but not necessarily all the time in the world with a 3 month old...I'd rather pay someone to clearance the exhaust than deal with it if...
I'll be using a 4L65E. It comes with the Erod package I'm buying. Considered the 80, but I'd rather have the warranty from Chevy.
The engine doesn't have the truck manifold, so hopefully no issues with clearance.
Do those have the same exit point as the supplied headers? Any need for downpipes to be modified?
Also, I've been back and forth with AA about getting a correct PN for my engine mounts. What PN did you wind up using?
Did you have to buy a bellhousing adapter to make the transfer case...
For those interested in Colorado regs on swaps. Did some digging.

It's all a giant money-grab if you ask me. There aren't enough pre-'96 vehicles on the road to justify the nationwide (essentially) infastructure needed to constantly do emissions testing. Especially every year.
The govt. has always been good at making money, though.
This is what the 'executive order' is supposed to do for you with the erod engines...pass emissions. It's meant to go into 96 and earlier vehicles for that exact reason.
I plan to do extensive research before pulling the trigger on one of these engine (and transmission) setups. It'll all be...
@azcrackshot I did a little rummaging and couldn't come up with what manifolds you wound up going with? Did you ever do a build thread that I'm missing?
In case anyone was wondering...
I contacted Jegs, who sells the 6.2L Erod package and they got ahold of Chevrolet Performance regarding GVWR stuff. Chevy states that the ONLY reason the GVWR is listed in the instruction sheet is for CA vehicles. They state it is a requirement. They also said...
Before deciding on the E-rod for a swap, I was about to pull the trigger on a rebuilt 6.0L and 4L65E...problem is, these guys cant do custom tuning and will only build a stand alone harness that I'll then have to tear apart. I've just had enough of messing with tunes and wiring. I came from the...

Slee offroad is a pretty spectacular group of dudes. I don't know any of them personally, but they pump out some pretty high quality stuff. A good friend had his 40th 1F rebuilt by them. They are PROUD of their work and its a big reason I'm choosing...
