Hi Swappers

A couple pics of the Gen3 E30-LS1 engine mounts, and a Catia model of our stuff on an LS3 --- Enjoy!

so, does that mean you are making mounts and cross members again now?

Look cool.. Any difference besides that?

Yes, we have kits. PM us

Im not running your hydroboost, so a kit would be a bit pointless for me, would only be after the mounts and cross member. :)

Does your diff mount clear an m coupe diff cover?

Thats ok; PM us

Our diff mount uses the three bolts at 2-4-5-o'clock. On the non-m cover, all of the flange is the same thickness ~~ 10mm. On the M-cover, the bolt holes we use have a different thickness (looks like about 30mm or so from the pics).

Give us a measurement of the boss height for the above bolts, and we can make a custom mount for the M3.

PM us

how much for the LS1 cad model?

[vert_this]

whats the various prices?

[Madhatter]

to put it bluntly. Expensive.

If you aren't looking to buy the complete kit, Id say it probably isn't worth buying individual pieces.

The kit (see attached pictures) costs $1499 (plus $40 domestic
shipping) and includes:

Engine Mounts : 395
Transmission Mount: 350
Booster Linkage System: 525
Second Differential Mount: 285
Radiator mount: 125
Swap Guide CD: 99

thanks for the info, good bit over my head tho

wondering how this is a complete kit when it doesn't come with one of the most essential parts needed for the complete build and that would be the custom steering knuckle shaft to clear the block hugger headers?

We don't say that it is a complete kit. The buyer still has to get headers (Sanderson), a steering shaft (make it yourself or buy from Vorshlag), modify a GTO oil pan, modify an Fbody driveshaft, make an intake duct, do the wiring, make power steering hoses, make A/C hoses, Mustang Hydroboost and mastercylinder, etc. We cover all of this in our CD, with many sketches, drawings, pics, instructions, parts list (which lists ALL parts and suppliers).

We supply:

Engine mounts
Transmission mount
Diff Support
Water pump spacers
Radiator mount
HydroBoost brackets and actuation linkage
CD

You supply the enthusiasm and skill to complete the swap. This is not a simple S52 swap. You need skill and a place to do it -- as we emphasize in our CD. If you are a skilled DIY-guy, all you need is the CD. We just supply the parts that are hard to make if you don't want to make them yourself.

Announcing price reduction to $1195!! Simpler engine mounts made a difference to us, so we are reducing our kit price back to what it was! We also include laser-cut water pump spacers, as well as the CD. Get some real ponies under the hood!!
