    For the most part Yes. IE I think if you buy mounts, you have to take motor and trans mounts as a set with the drive shaft. Every other part on that can be sold individually. But I'm pretty sure they can split it up if needed.

              Damn I wanted to see this complete, any word on a final price and what's included yet? I like Garret's kit but damn these motor mounts do look sexy. Are they making a remote booster setup or boosterless?

                No pricing yet. Again, it'll be slightly higher than the 240 kit. Use that as your measuring stick.

                There's a boosterless setup with a block off plate and accessories, then there's a hydroboost setup. Your pick.

                    I've been told the hydro boost setup is taking longer to mock up than anything else. The manual setup is done I believe.

                    If you want to order a kit, PM me, I'll pass you along. I think most of the kit is ready to be sold.

                      Nah I'll wait for the hydro boost set up. I don't plan on starting it until next spring anyway. I was just curious. Thanks though

                        Manual brakes... are surprisingly not that bad. Takes a bit more effort, but unless you're can't-lift-a-50lb-box type weak it shouldn't be a problem.

                          Yea I opted for the manual setup for cost and reliability concerns. I hope it works out.

                              We're probably a month or so off from releasing the kit, just tying up some loose ends. ...2 pictures for you, the full basic kit, and an engine mount shot.
                              The basic kit should be out soon. The hydro boost setup might be a bit off though. I'm waiting on pricing. I'll see about doing an initial introductory group buy. Any interest?
