1953-62 C1 Corvette

The C1 Corvette was produced from 1953-62 and did not have side engine mounts but rather a front mounting plate. This chassis will require modifications and welding in side mounts to the frame. LS Engines are wider than SBC GEN 1's which leads to crowding the brake booster. It is reccomended to look at relocating the coil packs. 

 

Engine Mounts-

Our Street Rod Weld Kit “Tabs” can be used and require fabrication and welding. You design your own frame perches and set the height and angle you need. Featured on Hot Rod Garage; Season 7, Episode 76 1971 CADDY SEDAN DEVILLE LS SWAP!! COMPLETE MISADVENTURE!!

<First you mock it up. It helps to make cardboard templates to get the exact shape and angle you need. Then you insert the poly insert and slide the engine in. 

 

If you messed up and would like to place the frame side in another location, we sell replacements here.

Heater hose outlets on water pump hit the upper control arm. Have to remove outlets and tap to 3/8" and 1/2" NPT and use 45 degree fittings.
