Hate to resurrect this thread, but what problems did you have with the brp mounts? Also, what oil pan did you go with? Awesome car by the way.

I'm sure you can read all the wonderful attributes of the "BRP" style mounts all over this forum. We have another car in the shop now to redo a set of that garbage. Extremely overpriced, horrible fit, AND the horrible drive line angle they set you up with, all in the name of easy fit low air conditioning and better pan clearance. Throwing the motor/ trans angle into the stratosphere is always a great way of fixing other clearance issues.

Here is an updated pic of the engine setup with some small changes. Almost three years this one has been done, still on the stock engine.

I have read some love the BRP stuff and some don't, until now noone has given me the reason either way. What motor mounts and trans crossmember do you typically use, what parts are you redoing the current car with?
