They are just common LS into HQ Holden
I used Tuff mounts, but are are little too firm when idling at the lights in gear.... vibrates a bit

Yeah as good as what they are/were, Ive had several of both and I had a stock with 10lb pulley in a VS ute as well as a 6L 6L80auto also in a vs ute, and the 6L kills it in every aspect imcluding economy and also is probably lighter
I only wish now i put the same combo in my beddy rather than LS1 4L60
6L80 is 6 speed auto.... 4L60e is 4 speed auto, although the LS1 4L60e is awesome.
Cheers Al

Ok, the last installment for this Sunday morning is... also I forgot to mention, I started this conversion on Tuesday morning and have done it all after hours..... and hope to drive it out next weekend.
There's plenty of room under there for exhaust and even maybe electric power steer from a Holden Barina or Astra.
The sump clearance is spot on, except for front.
This is an LS1 engine, but I have fitted it with an LS2 waterpump, harmonic balancer, belt tensioner, and alternator bracket, which still fits the LS1 alternator, along with the top jockey wheel from a VF 6L Commodore which has electric power steering, and therefore no power steer pump, which requires a replacement jockey wheel.
This gives me an extra 40ml, to fit radiator and thermo fans, and the gap shown here is 6 inches or 150ml, which is plenty, not forgetting you have to get radiator hoses in there as well.
The final shot here is, showing that the Beddy is the perfect natural habitat for the LS1.
Now I have to go and pull it all out again, weld up the sump, tidy up all underneath, and the front suspension crossmember etc, etc.....

Here's my floor sections sitting back in rough position, and it looks like I may have to take a little bit more out than planned... about 15ml each side, but the left foot room is still looking okay between steering column and cowl.
Shot 17 shows the original crossmember and original transmission mount, which perfect fit, but you can see I had to massage the 2 bottom extension housing bolts for the mount to fit. I cut a fair portion of the heads off with angle grinder, and hopefully left enough to be able to remove them if ever need be.
After trial fitting the tail shaft, it works out I need to shorten it by 110ml.
The Trimatic yoke is the same as the 4L60e.... gotta love GM hey???
Same yoke, mounts, crossmember, sump design, the Pommie engineers that designed these, and the Aussie guys that engineered the 202 to fit, must have known the future....

here's how close the rocker covers are
I am hoping to resection the original cowling and reuse, hence doing the floor the way Ive done it
Next, another shot of the sump, and you can see how close the windage tray is...
The next photo shows how close the top bellhousing bolt is, and also how that web there is touching the floor.
I will cut that web out, and hopefully thats enough to clear the floor without modding that...

Now its time to have a quick look to see if its gunna fit....
Yes and it looks like my pre floor cutting measurements are good ... so lets get cutting
And yes it fits.... just.... I will have to swap rocker covers side to side, to add oil etc
