The mounts/crossmembers seem like the easiest things to mass produce also...sucks. I purchased your engine mounts the other day... guess i'll be waiting a while for the rest!

They are, ONCE everything has gone thru preliminary testing and prototyping, THEN production approval. They don't just weld one up, see if it fits, then start producing..

You are closer to the reality and still leaving out about 10 steps of the process.

You were on target, I just added more emphasis as to the complexity of a the process so that others may understand it. Getting things right takes time.

Todd, if people understood what it takes to put out a QUALITY product as Holley/Hooker has done many times over, the appreciation factor of your job function would EXPLODE...

Many of the swap parts are on the shelf and more coming soon, with a little over 1000 miles on the truck we are still very happy with the finished product.

awesome build! can you tell me what power steering reservoir you used? looks like the right offset for my 95 blazer project. plastic Holley one sits out too far for my SPAL fans to clear on that side. Thanks.

So I literally decided to stop lurking and create an account because of this thread. I'm working on a simple 5.3 swap for my 93 Sonoma and have been scouring the web for an oil pan that will work without interference AND not hang below the front crossmember. From the pictures you've posted it looks like the 302-1 in conjunction with your motor mount setup accomplishes both of these. I know you are running a 3" drop in the rear but what drop are you running out front? Can you post any pictures showing if the oil pan hangs below the crossmember or by how much? Thanks!
