I am currently getting ready to swap an LS into my 87t car. One thing I am needing to know is what is the measurement of the offset for the motor mounts on the turbo crossmember. I know the driver side is further forward but how far forward is it? I have some adjustable motor mounts i've been working with that I think i can make work but their maximum offset is ~6.5 inches and im wanting to know if i need to modify them more to make them reach further.
Also how vital is the core support (the cross piece with the hood latch and that the upper radiator hose passes through) to the structural integrity of the chassis? I have seen several people with them cut out and haven't read anything about it causing a problem. Cutting it out would make alot of things much, much more simple for me but i dont want to ruin the chassis by doing so.
