I know they aren't TTI mounts and there is always the concern that the motor will be in a different spot, but these are in stock:

And TTI has measurements for the engine location. So you could verify where the above mounts locate the motor and shim accordingly.

As a bonus, the above mounts do away with the biscuit isolators.

Just a thought.

The mounts came in. The driver side mount makes me question why someone (QA1) isn't making a G3 swap K-member with special mounts like I mentioned in a different thread. I don't see any way a factory AC compressor will work with TTI mounts. The solution would be to find a shorty compressor and make a mount for it, or completely hack the mounts off the k-member and make some from scratch. I do think the /6 K member is likely the best starting point for the G3.

I'm ready to assemble the engine and get to work on the harness, I just need to get gaskets. I'm not sure what types of parts local stores stock, but it certainly isn't parts for a 5.7! I thought those challenges would have gone away with a modern engine. I was wrong. Thankfully rock auto has everything I need. I'll just order from them...
