What engine mounts are you guys using? I have a 74' C10 and currently have the Dirty Dingo mounts. The problem is you have to move the AC and delete the vacum pump for the mounts to fit in the engine correctly which leaves the issue of brackets to mount the AC unit in top of getting a bracket for the power steering. They do make those brakets, but spending $600 in brackets alone in top of replacing the AC unit with a different one along with a different water pump is a bit pricey. If that is the route I need to go so be it I will bite the bullet but would like to see what other options are out there.

If I read this correctly you do not need the BCM for cruise and tap shift correct? If that is the case what do you have to do?

Also if you are using those mounts what are you doing for headers?

Any other information is greatly appreciated. We are just getting back started and have yet to set the engine in the truck yet for our 1st test fit.

Sorry guess I should mention it is a 2016 L83 with 6l80e trans.
