LSX Mounting Kit $1,950

The LSx mounting kit is the product of over three years of design and development. Starting with CAD profiling and continuing developed from road and track testing. The combination of multiple tubing forms and triangulated design yields the strongest and lightest mounting kit available, period. Retaining the factory suspension and steering rack location ensures this. Our design couples all aspects in one and offers the best performance and balance to retain the MX5’s outstanding sports car handling. The LSx mounting kit offers you the availability of drive line placement. Click here for placement options. The newly redesigned transmission mount provides greater ground clearance and provisions for routing 3” exhaust through the cross member. The combination frame stiffeners and the transmission mount increase torsional rigidity by tying the uni-body together.

Kit includes:
• Light weight tubular subframe with choice of drive in placement for LSx engines (click here for more information on the subframe )

• Light weight engine plates and Energy polyurethane mounts.

• Transmission crossmember with provisions for 3” exhaust routing for T56 transmission and Energy polyurethane mount.

• Frame stiffeners for added torsional strength and uni-body bracing.

• Necessary hardware to install grade 8 or better zinc finished.

• Black semi gloss powder coat. Special order red powder coating. Add $35.

Axle combinations for LSx and MX5 drive lines

Carrier and axle combinations for LSx and MX5 drive lines
Axle combinations are built from all new parts, no remanufactured or machined original parts are used. The components in each kit are designed to work together under their stated application.

Getrag axle combinations:

The Getrag carrier is widely used in many GMTM vehicles with a broad range of power outputs and applications. Its light weight cast aluminum design is offered with a limited slip differential and an assortment of ratios. The size of the carrier offers exhaust clearance for dual 3” and optimizes ground clearance.

Our unique design utilizes the factory hangers to support the carrier and custom front mount to eliminate twist and flex without relying on the subframe brace mounting points. This design allows the use of the factory and after market braces and subframe connector. We utilize Getrag in our road course and street cars. When sourcing the Getrag look for the 2008 and later models for the latest casting and seal updates.

Ford 8.8TM Axle Combinations: Available Mid February 2009

The Ford 8.8 is tried and true, used in many kit cars and custom builds. It is known for taking abuse at the drag strip and hard launches. The mounting kit harnesses the 8.8 from the ‘89 – ’97 T-Bird and ’93 – ’97 Mark VIII. The carrier is offered in both steel and aluminum and has a wide variety of ratios and positive traction differentials. The 8.8 is bulker and heavier than the Getrag and is preferred for drag strip use.

The mount design is a TIG and MIG welded construction to provide superior strength and light weight for maximum performance and retains the factory scrub line while offering enough area for routing up to 2 ¾ dual exhaust. Our unique design utilizes the factory hangers to support the carrier from above and custom front mount to eliminate twist and flex without relying on the subframe brace mounting points. In mounting the carrier this way allows the use of the factory and after market braces and subframe connector.
