Draft has a nice swap. Still a bit high on price but he probably will do better than Hinson. Ive though of doing the mounts and wiring but not enough time.

Def not to spendy at all, for headers mounts etc. 1350$, thats a great deal. I wish I would of seen these guys before I paid out the *** for my kit, from a local guy.. I think my headers were 950$, but they are very nice.. I would like to see the kit these guys make, there prices are pretty good..

Well if I was a guessing man Id say hes purchasing Hinson Headers to sell with his kits but I could be wrong. Also the mounts are easy to make. Id say with a jig it might take a couple hours work and your done. The wiring if done right takes another couple hours. I would personally charge 400-450 for wiring and mounts. Headers are 600 so your looking at 1000-1050. Now if you did your own headers it would be a lot cheaper but the LT headers are much nicer.

My swap Mounts, wiring, Headers, cross member mod cost me $650 so your looking at a 100% profit if its over 1300.

Did you make them yourself?? If I would of made them myself then yes it would of been cheaper for me, but I paid a fabricator to make them. For a direct swap in kit, I would of paid the $1350, becuse I cant weld.. I doubt they use the hinson headers, because they said they dont use the subframe spacer. I dunno though..

What headers are the LT ones?

Bing!
