Speedtech Nova Subframe - Manual (Page 14)

14 | P a g e
14. Once you have removed your original sub frame there are a couple of ways to
proceed. If you are using a two post hoist, we recommend you install the motor
and transmission into the Speedtech sub frame and then install the completed unit
into the car. This allows more room to perform some detail work on the entire
assembly without the car's front clip in the way.
Engine Install
15. When installing your engine you must use Energy Suspension mount # 3.1114
and transmission mount # 3.1108 or equivalent. You must also us an LS motor
mount adapter plate, we recommend the ATS # 070001
Small Block and Big Block Chevrolet engines should fit the sub frame with a stock
style oil pan. Factory LS oil pans will have clearance issues and will not work. We
recommend the internally baffled ATS #70003 road race pan for standard LS
motors and the ATS #70004 for LS7 and LS9 dry sump systems.
If you are using the original clutch “Z” bar, Speedtech offers a bracket available
that is installed on the front of the driver side mid body mount. Please specify
what clutch you are using when ordering.
Reminder: LS Series motors use 2 different length frame stands. The longer of the 2 MUST be
installed on the driver
side! This will move the motor over ¾” to clear the oil pan rail. Small
Block and Big Block stands are the same height.
