Default New Style LS1 and Gen three mount

I decided to make my own mounts and have seen several designs on this board. I combined features from all of them and came up with these. I wanted the flexability of multiple postions to allow as much set-back as possible and for potential header clearance issues. The mounts allow four different postions or they can be flipped from side to side and have four more postions. The milled areas allow clearance for ribbed smallblock motor mounts such as the energy suspension polly mounts. Made of 5/16 6061 . What do you think.

Those look awesome. Are you able to fab up any other sorts of mounts, or was that just something one off you had done?

I may be looking to have some custom mounts made up...still need to figure out a couple things first.
