    Wish I had yours at the time.
    Yeah. It was my goal to get these on the market 3 years ago, but other things kept taking priority. Now that these are complete, I am working on the R4 AC bracket.

    Thought I would bump this up. I am in the process of starting to sell these under an LLC, time to get serious. My projects are not funding themselves ..

    More to follow, R4 AC compressor mount is almost finished.

    I used these mounts for my swap. They worked like a charm. These things are worth every penny.

    Do you know if they will work in other Chevy SBC to LS swaps? G body, Camaro, etc?

    Thanks Slow!.. maybe not so slow now.

    I've run these in 2WD and 4WD 88-99 trucks. A local guy has used them for his 99 Tahoe swap, and he's in the process of using another set on a 70's K5 pickup project.
    As for cars, I sell the same mounts to the B-body guys, and the LT1 94-96 guys get slightly modified versions for the offset right side mount. There's no reason they won't work on a G body. The car guys use either the 98-02 Fbody pan or the Holley swap pan. I was actually in the quoting phase of making my own swap pan, but Holley came out with theirs, and they pretty much had the same idea, I would have moved the sump a little further forward, but it's pretty close to ideal. FWIW, the Fbody pan is still made by GM, they use it in some industrial applications. It's not going away for a while.

    Trust me guy's, Mike knows what he is doing. I was around once in a while to see the stages of progress when he was planning and building a couple of his ideas. They are well thought out and not just thrown together to make a quick buck. Buy with confidence.

    So this is the long story short, 5.3 to 6.0 (plus some extra HP & TQ) Thanks to Mike and Don for their patience with me and my specifics. We did the swap in one day while I was on leave for X-mas. The next day I installed the MagnaFlow Cat Back, all is working excellent together. Drove it back to Ft. Stewart a couple days later.
