E30-LS1 Engine Mounts

[Shappa]

Im in let me know how much you want.

Can't believe I missed this thread...I'm definitely in for the engine/trans mounts. I'm still deciding whether to go with your HydroBoost system, so I'm not sure about those pieces yet.

We're getting a package of drawings out to laser cutters on Monday. We were delayed a little by going to the Paine Field airport yesterday afternoon (by the Boeing wide-body plant) to see a Grumman F8 Bearcat land and taxi into a local pilot's collection -- http://historicflight.org/hf/

Maybe Garret will post a pic or two. Nothing like a 2200hp engine into the smallest airframe possible...... kinda like an E30 with an LS1!

We're thinking of offering a limited number of the "hard parts" for the LS1 swap: Engine Mounts, Transmission Mount and HydroBoost parts.

damn,, i would like to own an E30 LSx

Garret,

I profess my ignorance of v8 swaps, but am certainly interested (and local!)

Given your mounts and the brake parts, what is left that is difficult? How much other custom fab is there in the exhaust, particularly manifolds?

Buy their build CD and it'll tell all!

Damn...I've got an LS1 in the garage, but it's supposed to go in the Nova. Damn this would be amazing. Decisions, decisions... :hitler:

We used off-the shelf block hugger exhaust headers from Sanderson. They cost us about $260 (plain finish). We explained what we were doing with our swap to Sanderson; they sent us two different sets of headers to try. We ended up using one from each set and sent the remainder back to Sanderson -- a really good outfit.
