OK guys, I've started this instead of having it lost in the upper mount thread. I'm working on a lower torque arm mount for the V6 swaps. I've got the design done, and my first quote back, but it came in higher than I expected, and I'm waiting on one or two more quotes.
Preliminary pricing for these, if I don't get a lower quote, would be $100 shipped. These are 1/4" steel with black powder coat. These will be strong as hell, and have two bolts to the end of the block like the factory N-body one, as well as 3 to the oil pan. I highly doubt anyone would break one of these!
Again, I'm hoping to get the price down on them. My target was $75, but we'll see how things go. For anyone who already purchased the new upper mount in the GP, I'll give a $10 credit in the new GP, since I wasn't able to get them into the first one as a package.
Here is the image of the revised design:
For now, I'm looking for interest. If I run a GP for these, who's interested? I'm going to set a preliminary time frame of running the GP starting on the 18th (next weekend), and the estimated ship date of these being October 30th. This would give the GP approximately 2-3 weeks of run time before the pieces are made.

Count me in. I am all for it.
Are you going to be supplyig the bolts that go into the block ? If not what size do i need to get?
so this will work on the 3100 and 3400 and use a stock jbody lower mount ?? if so im no planin on doing my v6 swap for a wile but im sure ill pick one up to put back with the parts im geting togeater to do the 3400 swap
I am in for one, I will keep an eye out for the GP or shoot me a PM when its up.
I was going to make my own but dont have time to mess with it. I gotta buckle down and get my project rolling.
I am definitely buying these mounts as soon as I can! Thank you for putting all the time and effort you have into making these a reality. I know a v6 swap in my car wouldn't even be a consideration if I had to make the mounts myself. My fab skills are less than desirable!
you the man get these mounts done
