Hey guys I am currently building a 1980 c1500 from ground up. I purchased a 2004 lq4 engine and 2004 4L80e Trans. I am in the process of setting the motor in the frame and I am having clearance issues. First what motor mounts and transmission cross member have you guys used? I have a set of Dirty Dingo motor mounts and I cant slide the motor far up enough to use the stock trans cross member like I was told I could. Also I have maybe a half inch clearance from my oil pan to my steering bar. Let me know if anyone can help me, maybe I should use different mounts or something? I have done lots of research on this and thinking maybe I have missed something on the start of this build.
