1970 Cutlass LS2 4l80E swap

I got a 1970 Cutlass Convertible. Looking to do a swap. Has anyone done an LS2 6.0 4L80E swap? Wondering what are the best engine mounts? transmission mounts? and a good place to get them from? Also with the 4L80E transmission swap do you have to cut the transmission tunnel to get it to fit with a good drive line angle?

Thanks. How's the oil pan clearance from cross member. My cousin has the 70 cutlass with LS2 4L80E but his looks like the oil pan is touching the cross member and he has a vibration at around 45 mph. Trying to avoid all that.

No issues with clearance.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the oil pan clearance from the cross member? You had some pictures on your thread but it really didn't show the oil pan and the cross member.

Also do you have happen to have the part number for the transmission mount you used? I know you stated that it was a OEM F Body mount but that also bought from Holley/ Hooker?
