BAGARAATAN LS swap adapter plates for 1958–1972 GM cars & 2WD trucks — billet aluminum, 4-position adjustable

BAGARAATAN LS swap motor mount adapter plates let you bolt Gen III/IV LS engines into 1958–1972 GM cars and 2WD trucks with a reliable, adjustable aluminum mounting solution.

If you’re swapping a 1997–2013 LS-series motor into an older Chevy or a 2WD GM truck, the right adapter plates simplify alignment, clearances, and hardware fitment. These billet aluminum plates are machined to OEM-inspired dimensions, come with mounting bolts, and offer four adjustable positions so you can accommodate different oil pans, headers, and steering components without fabrication headaches.

How do these adapter plates simplify an LS swap?

The plates convert the LS engine’s motor mount locations to match older SBC/BBC-style subframes, removing the need to modify the motor or chassis. A center opening is milled to clear the hump on SBC/BBC motor mounts, and included fasteners reduce the hunt for compatible hardware.

• Fits Gen III/IV LS engines (1997–2013) into 1958–1972 GM cars and many 2WD GM trucks
• Billet aluminum construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Center relief pocket to clear SBC/BBC motor mount humps
• Comes with 2 plates, 8 flat-head bolts and 6 flange bolts

What adjustment options do the plates provide for clearance issues?

Each adapter plate offers four distinct mounting positions so you can shift the engine for the best fit around headers, steering boxes, and aftermarket oil pans. These positions let you fine-tune placement without cutting or rotating the stock mounts.

• Four selectable mounting positions to optimize engine setback and height
• Helps avoid interference with custom headers and steering components
• Useful for vehicles with aftermarket or deep-sump oil pans
• Adjustability reduces need for permanent chassis modification

Which vehicles and engines are these plates compatible with?

Made to work with the majority of 1960s–1970s Chevrolet cars and pickups, the plates accept Gen III/IV LS engines including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LQ4 and LQ9. They are not intended for 1967–1972 4x4 Chevrolet or GMC trucks, so confirm drivetrain layout before ordering.

• Designed for 1997–2013 LS series engines (Gen III/IV)
• Targets 1958–1972 Chevrolet cars and 2WD trucks (Camaro, Nova, Chevelle, Impala, etc.)
• Not compatible with 1967–1972 4x4 Chevy/GMC trucks
• Works with up to 1991 Corvette engine bays when applicable

Who is this for? Enthusiasts doing an LS conversion who want a durable, off-the-shelf mounting solution that minimizes chassis work will appreciate these BAGARAATAN adapter plates. They suit home mechanics, small fabrication shops, and classic car restorers installing Gen III/IV engines into vintage Chevy cars or 2WD trucks and require adjustability for headers, steering, and oil pan clearance. If you need a machined, corrosion-resistant plate with hardware included and multiple mounting positions, these plates offer a practical path to cleaner, faster LS swaps.
