    ahh, yes, finally here. now to save up money for it.

    and i plan on having an aluminum cradle as well, so a "bolt in" version would be ideal. drill some holes and off you go. good for people that dont have welding access, or its just not as feasible to do so. maybe a lower second plate to act as a large washer and distribute forces a bit more.

    I like it....however it looks familiar

    FWIW, this is a solid version of a 96-99 Bonneville front trans mount. Except the Bonneville mounted to both the trans and engine, had some dampening built in. Solid mounts like this will become prone to breakage over time with metal fatigue from the vibrations. Another thing I've done is take a 2000-2005 Bonneville front trans mount, some hockey pucks and or a piece of softer material and drilled that into a subframe. Might be a lower cost option doing the same thing.

    Here's a pic of my modified Bonne mount (96-99). There was a shock where the hockey pucks are and the big block of black is stock rubber. Never felt any vibration from it and the subframe flexed long before the mount.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Any pics for the Alum Subframe? It would be nice to have this as a bolt in. Would it be all out of Alum so that IF we wanted to could Tig it to the subframe? TIA

    We have this setup on a car here making somewhere in the realm of 500whp.
    He is maxing his 80# injectors and we will be going bigger with the fuel setup.
    Car has virtually zero vibration in the cabin with this dogbone replacement setup.

    Its actually an st5 cam. This is one of the best mods you can do hands down. Makes the car feel like an entirely different car. You dont feel the shifts, cam, or anything else!

    Ive got two kits left. Maybe three - after they are gone then Im not making anymore. Closing this thread soon because of a lack of interest.

    $125 + shipping and I will install the kit for $150 if anyone is local.
