INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The GM V8 engine block and 4.3 V6 engine block are identical as to engine mounts, water pumps, and width. The only
variation for the engine mount area is that the V8 engine mounts are located approximately 4-3/8" further forward than
the V6 mount location. By using these adapter plates, you will be able to retain the original V6 rubber insulators and bolt
the new Chevy V8 engine into location. The V8 hole locations will provide for minor adjustments. These mounts are
primarily used on S10 engine conversions that are replacing the 4.3 V6 with the Chevy V8.
NOTE:
We have found some stock 4.3 mounts will need to be ground
at the top of the mount for clearance on the Advance Adapters
steel plate.
SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components will void
any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly recommend that
you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service
manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships
and parts stores.

NOTE: If you are using a late model block that utilizes an
engine block sensor, you will need to purchase a Brass Street
Elbow, Dorman Part #490-117. This will allow you to retain
your sensor in the original location in order for the block to
operate correctly.
