Is there a mount that will allow the transmission to remain in the original location?

I have an application I am working on that requires the transmission to remain in the same exact location as the Gen 1 small block because of the location of the shifter (manual transmission).
There are about half a dozen mounts available on the market. I was curious which ones would allow me to put the engine into a location that would keep the transmission in the original location.

I used the UMI frame towers with the f body ls mounts. These keep the engine in the factory location.

Is there a part number or a link for the UMI frame towers?

Is there a particular oil pan that is needed to use with them? Will the CTS pan clear?

Yes, in fact I’m using the CTS-V pan myself along with these Speed Engineering headers, https://speed-engineering.com/colle...-s10-s10-blazer-1982-2004-ls1-ls2-ls3-ls6-lsa. I wasn’t luck enough to have a factory manual, so I swapped out my 200-4r for a T56.
