Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Your truck's looking good. Sorry we didn't get much time to talk when you were down here.

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Man first the dash and now the drivetrain. Wish I had your luck!. Is it 5.3 or 6.0?

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
5.3 is a good motor. It will have more power than the vortech!

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
The design of the motor mount adapters all come down to the headers you are going to use and if you want to use the stock trans or the new trans in the stock bell housing location.
These ones leave the trans in the stock location so if you want to keep your stock trans & driveshaft(s) you can. http://www.streetsideauto.com/p/tran...ap-mount-4575/ I don't know which headers are designed around this if any. I'm going to make my own using a set of big block headers and a set of Patriot H7893 LSx header flanges. http://www.jegs.com/i/Patriot+Exhaus...H7893/10002/-1

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Looking good....
Question: What size lift, tires, and wheels are you running. Looks like a nice setup.
