    i dont claim to know every thing about cars, but i do know i pay for quality for parts , so if they are good and come with some sort of "in-house" warranty and the material quality you use are top i cant see why u couldnt charge that much for them

          $100 sounds pretty cheap to me... im still working on my prototype full bp swap kit with poly mounts, cross member and the intermediate shaft bracket... i was planning on putting a $600 price tag on mine...


          it would work with an aspire front sway bar
          it would not work with a/c
          you would have to get your own single v belt crank pulley

          i try to make all my stuff "unbreakable" so it would be kinda heavy...ill post pics when its done
          I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!

              $100 is super cheap for mounts, and I wouldn't expect any kind of warranty for that. $600 a little steep, I'm not saying it isn't worth it, but I didn't even pay $600 for my whole car. It's tough making custom stuff for cheap cars, people tend to get sticker shock pretty easily, I know from experience.
              Oh nevermind I just realized you are talking about the cross member, and intermediate shaft too. That's actually a pretty fair price.

              Clearing an aspire front bar is a huge plus though. I had to take a mini sledge to my front mount to make it clear the aspire bar. Not exactly my preferred method.

                ^600 sounds like a great deal considering that they will all be poly and it's a complete
                Kit!!!

                  I will soon be in need of mounts myself BUT, price paid will be dependent on quality of welding and general aesthetics of the work. Just because a guy can weld doesn't mean he can do good work. I have seen motors mounted crooked with super clean mounts as well as nasty welding on a perfectly straight and fitting engine. To me $600 would be an easy investment if the welds were professional, mounts were solid, engine and tranny was straight, included poly mounts, and included the crossmember and intermediate shaft bracket. To me that would be a no brainer.

                    my welds arent that pretty but they are strong and my engine sits nice and straight... i have a jig made up for the intermediate shaft bracket to fit the bp already but im waiting on some more cash to make the jig for the cross member. ill try to get on that as soon as possible.

                    as for the poly mounts, i like having readily available and cheap replacements for wear items such as mounts. i plan on using universal sway bar end link mounts from energy suspension for all the mounts.

                    sorry for the hijack ill get my prototype built hopefully in the next week or so.
