Not sure about the best deal as I didn’t find any of the common mounts to be pricey. I decided to go with the dirty dingo mounts since they had a few adjustment points.

Agree with Rex, no "best deal" per se just depends on what you want. I also went w/ DD and have mine in the stock location

Look on ebay for them. I bought some for the LT engine . Still trying to figure out exactly where to drop the engine due to FEA, oil pan, oil cooler and power steering. I have 4 choices though.

Yes allows you to use the factory SBC engine mounts.

When using the stock location ones. Does the transmission mount work with the factory crossmember bracket?

Yes & No.

I had a ZZ383 with a T56 Magnum 6 speed, converted to the LS3 and the transmission mounted 1/2" closer to the front, My transmission mount still worked, but wasn't 100% same location. I used ICT Mounts.
