DSE LS Engine Mount Kit (060409DS) - 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette
Bring modern GM LS power to your C2 or C3 Corvette with a mounting solution engineered specifically for the chassis. Detroit Speed LS Engine Mount Kit 060409DS is designed for LS conversions in 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvettes and works with both the Detroit Speed SpeedRay front suspension and the factory front suspension. The 100 percent bolt-on design gives Corvette builders a purpose-built way to mount an LS engine without fabricating a custom engine mount system.
The kit combines left- and right-hand engine mount adapter plates with polyurethane engine mounts and the necessary mounting hardware. Detroit Speed also supports 060409DS with detailed engine-fitment information covering LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, and LS9 combinations. That makes this kit an important foundation for a properly planned Corvette LS conversion where engine mounts, oil pan, headers, steering, and front suspension all need to work together.
