I'm doing an LS conversion in my 64 Skylark, I believe it's same frame as yours. I rebuilt the LS clamshells and fabricated my own frame mounts so I could get the car as far back and as low as possible. It worked for me.

I would assume that the frames should be similar for a 64 Buick and 64 Pontiac . Do you have any pics? I just figured the 64-67 SB Chevy mounts is what others have used and it appears to have worked. Most of the engine adapters that I have been looking at call for the SB Chevy frame mounts.

Sorry Chris, I looked though my pics and didn't have any of the mounts. I had planned on taking some tomorrow for you but sounds like I'm too late.

What are your plans for engine exhaust? Headers? Manifolds? I'm using the LS1 manifolds from the 02 donor car. It's a little tight on the pass side and the drivers side need a new location for the sensor but I got it figured out. I know other guys have done that too.

Good luck on the build, sounds like a great project.
