Watch out for: UMI 2410 uses 1998–2002 Camaro-style engine-side mounts (UMI 2328/2329 or GM 22179268) with 3/4 in fore/aft adjustment. The UMI T56 kit requires a short torque arm (e.g., UMI 2235/2236). ICT kit keeps the SBC crank and bellhousing location (no tunnel, driveshaft or linkage changes); torque engine-mount bolts to 37 lb-ft and M12 bolts to 86 lb-ft (ICT).

Required parts we've priced so far: $149.99 (parts only, not a full budget — engine, trans, wiring and labor are extra. Try the swap cost estimator.)
