    Garagistic m6x/s6x v8 e30 kit motor mounts/trans brace / rpm mod / boosterless brakes

    Just wanted to update everyone to let them now mounts are now available!

    All mounts include subframe spacers (which are option in use). The purpose is only to keep the driveline straighter. The swap will work without them however. 10.9 grade hard ware is included.

      I wish you would think about doing a 5 speed version of the trans mounts( unless they are the same thing). They are a little more obtainable. I don't know much about the swap, but Im starting to look into it. The m30 just isn't enough anymore. hahaha

        Depending on price I might be in for a Trans mount.

          No need for a different trans mount from original for the 5 speed.

          Will these mounts require the use of subframe spacers? I wouldn't waste your time compounding the problem of bump steer and drive train angle (and wear).

          It has long been the norm to use subframe spacers while preforming the m60 / m62 v8 swap into an e30. Where did this norm start? Well basically as far as I can tell it started with an old-er swap guide which you will find somewhat translated here. So for the sake of convenience people


          Make motor mounts that require the person to notch the oil pan (or offer the service to notch the oil pan for members).

          Ball park price on the mounts? I would like to see them in the ~$100 range. The 200 Euro price with spacers that 300mm is asking is astronomical in relation to material cost and production time.

              The 5 speed requires no modifications to the factory transmission mounts.

              We will post that info very soon!

              Yes they will most likely use sub-frame spacers (although we have tested it both with and without them).

              Thank you for the advice. We want to hear what people think and this is the exact feedback we are looking for. Thank you.

              We are still getting the final numbers on the motor mounts but your range is very realistic and final price will be no where near how much the euro versions cost today.

                I'm interested in the RPM mod. PM me regarding availability and price.
                I'd also like to see your brake booster options.

                  No problem, if there is one thing I love is making the M60/2 swap more "correct".

                  I am assuming you guys are making the mounts that require spacers because you have a swapped car with them already and you are just looking to reproduce those rather then developing a new set + notching said cars pan?

                  If you ask me its worth the extra time and effort. That would make you guys the only source for 'proper' motor mounts. By contracting out a welding shop to do the welding work for oil pans that customers can send in would also give you an additional revenue stream, and provide a welding consistency customers can rely on. At least consider making two versions, for those who want to use spacers and for those who want to notch.

                  If you would like to discuss further how to offer a more complete package/options/resources let me know by PMing me. I wouldn't mind collaborating since I love the m60/2 swap!

                    That's good to hear! When M3 Ryan and I scratch built my M30 motor mounts....I can tell you it was a PITA. It took at least 20 hours. Of course that was for the first one, if I were to duplicate them it would be a lot less. But I know there is a decent about of work to do these right. So hats off to you. Depending on price, I might pick up a set just so I have them just on the off chance I do a m60 swap.;)

                      Just wanted to let people subscribing to this that we have a few mounts left. They are currently being welded and will be ready to ship this weekend.

                      Currently have:

                      1 steel
                      4 aluminum

                        am I right in that you have essentially boxed the pedal box and only used the two upper bolts in the sheet metal above the steering wheel on the firewall to mount the whole thing?

                        So, basically, the pedal box mounts to the bracket, then you bolt the bracket to the actual car with just the two bolts? I hope that isn't the case?

                          No, this is not the case.

                          There are 6 bolts that hold the bracket to the body. There are 3 that bolt up in the factory location. There are then another 3 that hold the bracket from the back. These holes need to be drilled. We then supply hardware that fits into these holes, as well as an upper reinforcement plate which can then be used as is, or welded in place.

                          There are then another 8 bolts that hold the actual pedal assembly to the bracket. Hardware is also supplied for this as well.

                          We also supply a provision bracket for the brake light switch and location for throttle spring to be relocated to.

                          We will start another thread soon regarding these brackets as well as more pictures.

                            I was going to say, because both tilton and wilwood clearly say that the 4 main bolts for the pedal box need to be fixed to something rigid and fully supported as these bolts and whatever they are bolted to take the brunt of the force transmitted by the driver.

                            Do you drill through the firewall and mount the other bolts that way? Did you do anything for the throttle itself as far as mounting it goes? im just about to finish mine over the weekend, actually mounting it in place with bearings on the shaft instead of the sleeves it used from the factory.

                              I can't wait to get them.
