Product Description
GM A-Body cars went through a transformation in 1978, and although GM redesignated rear-wheel drive A-Body models as G-Bodies beginning in 1982, the platform remained relatively unchanged until 1988. The 1978-88 A & G-Body segment contains some of the more iconic muscle cars of that era, making them prime candidates for an LS swap.
Trans-dapt Performance Products has been manufacturing engine mounts since the 60's, and they focus on products that simplify the mating of automotivie components that were'nt designed to fit together in the first place. This engine swap mount kit is one of those efffort-saving products. The kit is designed to install an LS engine into 1978-87 Caballero, Cutlass, El Camino, Grand Prix, and Regal, or 1978-88 Monte Carlo vehicle models.
Handwelded in Trans-Dapt's Whittier, California manufacturing plant, this kit includes engine adapter brackets, rubber frame pads, and all Grade 8 hardware to install everything, including a connector bolt.
To ensure a proper driveline angle, we strongly recommend the use of Trans-Dapt's 6422 transmission crossmember (for use with T56, TH400, 4L60/65/70/80E transmissions). To lay a great foundation for maximum power output, we recommend the use of Hedman's mid-length LS swap header sfor this same project.
