I definitely will once I get home I'll snap some pics. It's an 8 point cage tying the front and rear shock towers together. Stands had to be made on the floor pans as the metal is super thin. I also have full length frame connectors which I purchased but if I'd do it again I'd make my own. -
Thanks RebekahsZ, I've followed your build and your cars performance is impressive. Cage and frame connectors were my first mods. I still need the diagonal bar. Seat placement is very important as how far the drivers body is clear from whacking into something. I was never a fan of the JCI mount as I don't care for the headers or transmission mount.

Please give a review after your install. I'm curious about if any trans tunnel mods are required. What model S30 do you have? I have a 71 and noticed my factory transmission "wing" mounts are removable. Not sure if they were on all models.

Turbo 930 you are correct, I needed to have the seats in first to check clearance. I love my seats but I'm going to have to go to a smaller JAZ seat. Hoke's look like quality pieces but I've yet to see a trans mount I'd call perfect. Most likely due to the variations in the S30 chassis through the years. Appears the CX long tubes are recommended by many, even other LS swap builders.

Hey, I've been lurking at builds here and other sites and picked up great tips. Chassis is all done, full length connectors, seams welded 8 pt cage, T3 coilovers and suspension. Needs brakes, diff, ( I have the upgraded stub axles and companion flanges, and cv axles). What motor mount kits do you guys favor? CRX, Hokeperformance, Dirty Dingo, Hawk Motorsports or JTR?
