JohnnyC Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Are any of you LS-swap guys using Dirty Dingo "Double D" mounts with the f-body oil pan? Dirty Dingo says they don't work out (hits inner tie rod) and to use the Holley 302-2 pan, but I already have the f-body pan (which was hundreds cheaper, too).... And several random google results on forums seem to show the f-body pan is common for our swaps.... It sounds like it should work, since they have a 1" set-back built as well. I know this topic is beat to death but I've come up short actually finding a Monte that has these two specific parts TOGETHER. Thanks!

JohnnyC Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thanks. I had browsed around, but dummy me I missed the sticky up at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Any specific reason for the Dirty Dingo mounts? I'm running 1" forward (front of engines line up) plates with an F-body pan and have all sorts of clearance due to the crossmember being farther forward than on a Chevelle.

JohnnyC Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Because I had previously bought them for an S-10 swap instead. 😅 Which mounts are you using, Blackhawk, if you don't mind me asking? I'd rather buy an f-body pan and another set of mounts than the $450ish (Canada) for the Holley kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I'm using the Trans-Dapt 4572, but any brand will work. I wanted to avoid aluminum mounts and sliding mounts to keep the engine lower. It also put the 4L60E shifter in the same spot as the TH350 so I didn't really mess with the back drive linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
