Trans-Dapt Performance Products has announced its new Gen 5 LT Engine Swap Mounts for classic American, factory small block Chevy-equipped passenger cars. These easy to use kits are a true bolt-in, no-welding required design, that allow SBC-equipped cars to easily accommodate the cutting-edge Gen 5 LT engine.


The small block Chevy motor is iconic in the automotive world and has been GM’s go-to powerplant since its inception in the 1950s. But like most factory powerplants, there is always room for improvement. The all-new Gen 5 LT motor is the latest chapter in the long legacy of the small-block engine, incorporating cutting-edge direct-injection technology into GM’s proven design. With the Trans-Dapt Gen 5 LT Engine Swap Mounts you will be able to give a project vehicle or daily driver a high-tech transplant with an outstanding balance of performance, efficiency and reliability.

Trans-Dapt’s Gen 5 LT Engine Swap Mount Kits include a complete set of heavy-duty 5/16” laser-cut engine plates, mount pads, and Grade 8 installation hardware. The simple, “bolt to frame” design easily installs without welding, and they are compatible for use on classic GM factory small block-equipped passenger cars.

Trans-Dapt’s Gen 5 LT Engine Swap Mounts are available in three different motor mount positions – 5/8” forward, 5/8” rearward or 1 1/8” rearward. The kits come with three different pad options – with polyurethane pads (Part Numbers 4521, 4224, 4527), with OE style rubber pads (Part Numbers 4520, 4523, 4526), or without any pads (Part Numbers 4519, 4522, 4525).

Trans-Dapt Performance Products manufactures these kits in its Whittier, California manufacturing plant. All components are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a full 12 months.

Carrillo Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods for Ford 7.3L Godzilla

These pistons are forged from 2618T aluminum alloy and machined on dedicated CNC machine cells to tight tolerances. 2618 aluminum has a lower silicon content than other alloys. That makes the pistons stronger and more ductile—perfect for high-load, high-stress applications like superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide.  Related Articles – Fluidampr Harmonic Damper from Summit Racing
