Engine Mount Plate Kit GM LS Engine Swap

The Engine Mount Plate Kit GM LS Engine Swap by Hooker is a bolt-on motor mounting solution engineered for builders performing LS-series engine conversions into classic GM fullsize trucks and SUVs from the 1975–1987 model year range. This kit delivers the structural foundation needed when transplanting modern LS power into vintage platforms, eliminating costly custom fabrication and ensuring repeatable, reliable engine positioning. Whether you're converting a C10 pickup, Blazer, or Suburban, this mount plate system standardizes installation geometry and reduces downtime on the build.

Constructed from heavy-duty zinc-plated steel, the Engine Mount Plate Kit GM LS Engine Swap resists corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability under engine load and chassis flex. The two-wheel drive (2WD) configuration ensures fitment and load distribution match the suspension geometry of original 2WD truck and SUV frames, preventing stress concentration at mounting points. Zinc plating provides long-term rust protection in underhood environments, critical for vintage vehicles where original undercoating has deteriorated. The pair configuration allows balanced engine support across the front subframe, maintaining proper engine height, timing cover clearance, and accessory belt routing.

Builders tackling LS swaps into first-generation (1973–1987) Chevy and GMC trucks, as well as full-size Blazers and Suburbans, will benefit from the precision engineering and bolt-on simplicity this kit provides. Installation requires no welding or cutting of existing frame rails, streamlining the conversion process and preserving originality. The Engine Mount Plate Kit GM LS Engine Swap integrates seamlessly with Hooker's ecosystem of swap components and works alongside aftermarket engine harnesses, custom radiator shrouds, and transmission crossmembers for a complete restomod package. Verify 2WD frame configuration and engine compartment width before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
