garbage

mike (supercharged ls1 s13 drift car) was sponsored by hinson and threw their stuff away

its overpriced and crappy EXCEPT for the headers.

i havent seen the XAT stuff yet but i hear its very expensive. my mounts cost me all of about $30 to make. just make your own

I gotta learn how to weld.

Hinson mounts are crap. They space your front cross member down which throws the suspension angles all out of wack.

Buy the Universal LS1 mounts if you want an easy way to make mounts. They come with bushings all you have to do it make a plate (supported underneath like the McKenny Mounts) and weld the universal mount on at the appropriate height.

Plus Hinsons customer service so far for me has been crappy. Im still waiting on a drive shaft they have cut wrong now twice.

you should go tell him his precious chevy engines and cars are built in canada and mexico. i hate ignorant people like that.

and i would post my mount designs but everyones have been a little different. its not hard to do at all. you make 4 plates, bolt one to the engine, one to the crossmember on each side, put the engine in the car (with trans) use 2 floor jacks to center and level everything then measure your mounts, cut the steel and tack it into place. remove them and weld them fully.

if you are doing a soft mount, build the soft mount into the engine mount then just figure out how to match the crossmember to the mount.

for the rear mount just 3 pieces of angle iron. drill some holes cut them into dimension, done. just make sure you soft mount the transmission if you solid mount the engine. you can crack the transmission case from the torque if there isnt any give in the mounts.
