I couldn't get the new style motor mounts to work with my LS3 with Kooks headers. The rubber portion was nearly in contact with the header pipes. I ended up using the Pfadt mounts - much smaller, and more solid. Here's a link to my write-up.

I haven't updated my site in probably 2 years, but at least that section is accurate.
I also had to go with the older style C5 motor mount brackets. The newer version that came with my LS3 interfered with my AC compressor with it mounted low to the passenger side.

Be sure you did not mount them backwards. If i remember correctly the way they look like they should fit , only works for one side. Flip them around. I am pretty sure I made that mistake using the c5 brackets on the LS3

The rubber mounts are very close to the Kooks pipes. I have the LS3/480 motor. Attached is what I did to help protect the mounts. They are made from Stainless Steel. .032 I think, easy to form. Hope that helps. DonHPIM0675 (1024x771).jpgHPIM0674 (1024x771).jpg
