If you know how to weld or have a friend who can weld this is a cheap way out. I have found that mac 351w headers for a fox fit the best, but you can use any 351w fox long tube headers. I prefer to build my own motor mounts to get the engine as low and close to the firewall as possible for better weight transfer and better handling and its cheap. As pictured below I used a UPR k-member for a 4.6 and 79 mustang v8 motor mounts.

lol thats what i was thinking. but after looking closer it looks like he has room for the shaft although it will probably be a tight fit. but i have yet to have a set of longtubes where that wasnt the case.
Good looking headers. They do seem to hang a bit low. Almost like the LT's on my 5.0. Im hoping the lt's on my ls1 wont hang as low since i paid a decent amount for them, i dont want them to get dinged up like my others.

Kind of hard to compare your picture when his are right under the front bumper pointed up. In his picture you can see that he uses the stock foxbody dual hump trans xmember as well. Your picture is from a distance and more level with the ground so it's not a good comparison IMO. Also, I'd like to see a comparison on how the motor sits in the engine bay between the two. $1000 + shipping for the AJE setup. I'm gonna guess that he's getting it done much cheaper than that.
