Grannies uses the three bolt sbc mount from the 1960s chevy trucks. You'll need adapter plates to run an ls series motor.

if you havent bought the kit yet i would suggest the ronin kit for ease of installation and removal of engine,you will be taking it out a few times for trial fitting diff. parts,also lighter weight and the price point.....win,win,win!!!

samberg, custom, hinson for FD
Ronin, grannies, custom, hinson for FC
grannies, custom, or FC subframe swapfor FB or SA

those are your options for V8 swaps. Obviously Ronin makes the best mounts for the FC and obviously Justin samberg makes the best for the FD. Unfortunately the only option for FB/SA is grannies unless you convert to FC subframe with ronin mounts. I did a custom unit on a SA. There is also PEZ in atlanta who has made custom mounts for FD's as well but he is a hard man to book

I already have the granny speed subframe.. So all I need is the adapter plates to make the ls1 mounts work? Where do I get these plates?

Yeah but if I can use my mounts and just buy the adapter plates I could save money. That's what I'm trying to figure out. It doesn't say anywhere if mine will work with their adapter plate. I know I can buy new mounts
