Not the same. It moves the engine 1" back, apparently because when you swap a 3x00 GA to a manual tranny, the engine moves back a bit.

Also, to put a 3x00 in a 3rd Gen J-body, the engine sits 1" too low, which is why I designed the mount with the vertical offset.

Yeah, I just shipped out a black one. I have one black one and one clear one available at the moment.
PM me if interested. They're usually made to order, but they went ahead and made a few at once this time.

I should clarify that statement. They are anodized in black or clear. The clear gives the aluminum a nice satin finish.

Currently they are 2 bills. Anodizing is included, as long as the shop has the color already going out to the coating facility, because they pay by the load, not the piece. I'm going to see if I can get the shop to come down on it if we can get a bunch. If people would be interested in a GP on these, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

For a refresher, if people haven't seen the pic in the sticky, here's a bare one:

And here's Kardain's installed, in black ano:



These are 100% billet, so they are starting with a big chunk of aluminum, plus lots of machining to get to the final product, but if I can get them to give me a decent discount, would there be enough interest for a GP?
