Due to demands we are going to be offering a limited number of the "hard parts" for the LS1 swap.
We thought you would all be happy to know that kits will be available in a very short time. We will be doing an initial run of 10 kits so if you would like to reserve one please let us know!
What will be included
- Engine Mounts
- Transmission Mount
- Brake booster linkage system
- Second Differential Mount (bolts to 3 of the diff cover bolts)
- Radiator Mount
- Swap CD
We're shooting for a price-point of between $1200 and $1500 for the whole kit (cheaper than most sets of wheels!!). We can work out details for individual pieces (i.e. if you only want engine mounts, or only want the second diff mount). We're getting the first set of parts on friday from the lasercutters, which we will use dial in our jigs and be sure fittment is good. After that we will know exactly how much it will cost us to get the first run of 10 kits lasercut. We're trying to keep the kit relatively cheap so that it is accessible to as many people as possible.
I will post pics of the first kit once it's complete, hopefully sometime this weekend or early next week!
Here are some teaser pics.

Quick vid from last winter...I'll make another one soon
Booster Linkage system
Engine Mounts
Stress analysis on engine mounts
Tranny Mount (modified from our original version for easier exhaust routing)
Second Diff Mount (Bolts to 3 of the diff cover bolts. Also now has webbing between posts for stiffening)
Finished Engine Bay
Due to the cost that it's going to be for us to do this, I would like to start a list for the initial run of 10 of people who are committed. Please note that I AM willing to mix and match parts.
1) FreedS4 (engine/tranny mounts)
2) mutty (booster system)
3) BeirBrennerE30 (booster system and diff mount)
4) bimmerfreak87
5) tyBeck
6) Chris Woods (diff mount)
