    Default New LT1 motor mount question.

    Are the Gen V LT1 motor mounts the same motor mounts as the LS1 motor mounts or any LS motor mounts?

    I work in a Gen V manufacturing plant. They have a dyno lab where the have test engines and test components constantly. I asked the dyno mechanic if the mounts are the same. He said the Gen V engine bolts right into the Gen IV 4 bolt rectangle mount holes.
    I asked about the fuel system. It's a mechanical pump driven from where the old distributor was, so the changes to the fuel system shouldn't be too extensive to do a retrofit.
    I asked how the horsepower numbers look. He said they are very close to spec and they test them at 5 psi exhaust back pressure at 5,000 rpm, so they should have some reserve hp once hot rodded.
    Apparently the spec is to set them at 6 degrees slope up on the dyno for the oil to drain back to the pan properly.
