Metaltek MFG mounts here. Fit perfectly with stock truck AC compressor location as well. Using ICT Billet accessory drive system.

What oil pan are you using with those mounts ?

I used the Holley 302-3. It is the one Holley specifically mentioned the G-Body cars in the description. That is why I chose it over the 302-2.

No fitment or clearance issues?
The Metaltek MFG mounts and the Holley 302-3 pan are a great fit! Plenty of clearance oil pan to K member, and air conditioning compressor to K member. I am running the Speed Engineering 1 3/4" long tube headers, and there is the typical issues with clearance with the passenger's side frame rail, and upper control arm rear bushing, as well as the driver's side lower control arm frame mount. None of those I believe to be the fault of the Metaltek MFG mounts or the Holley pan.

Started with stock clamshell mounts. Modified the frame mount by splitting them open and swapping out the stock biscuits for Energy Suspension polyurethane units. RE-installed the frame mounts using 7/16 Grade 8 capscrews instead of the Grade ? metrics that came stock. Ran with Hedman Hedders for over 10 years; got about 2 years per install due to winter driving and salt. Went to score the latest set and found that the designers had changed the pipe configuration so that the upper half of the clamshell mount now interfered with the No 1 and 2 pipes. My cure for that is outlined in Project Regress--Progress?? elsewhere. The solid mounts are just that, solid, no cushion between what the engine is doing and the good? vibrations that arise as a result. On the positive side they do offer great clearance for most versions of headers currently available.
