we have been working hard on the parts we sold out of the mounts that we had already and we have gotten 20 more sets cut so we can fab them up for next week. the Alt. brackets are almost done we have them about 3/4 of the way. the hold up was we had to have the car redy to mock one up and from their I had the rest of the parts cut as well as build a jig so we would not need a car here every time to build them. here are some pictures of the motor mount installed as well as the alt. mount to get an idea of how they work. we will have 7 alt. sets ready to go by the first of the week. and already we have several sold so we are now down to 3 sets. we will be getting more cut next week. they will be going faster from now on. D.
OK, I'd like to add myself to the list of people interested in the complete conversion kit... I have an 85 SE with a Targa roof that's been waiting for me to get everything lined up to put the 3800 in. I have a donor car (93 SSEi) that was written off 2 years ago, and will be using a factory 4 (or 5) speed for now, til i can afford to do the G6 GTP 6-speed conversion. I also will be keeping the Bonne ecm and most of the wiring, as I plan to somehow shoehorn the SSEi dash and interior into the Fiero.
What kind of pricing would I be looking at, as well as shipping to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada?

so last night I decided to turn the phone off and let everyone go home on time and I stayed late to get a few things done. I was only at the shop till 8:30 but with no one to bother me this is what I was able to do.
people who wanted the low mount alt mounts will be PM'd I made 6 of them 3 we needed for the shop and 3 are for sale once these are sold I will get on making more and should be able to have more made in under 2 weeks.
we have 4 full sets for the auto swap and I made 12 of the motor mounts so PM me if you are wanting them. thanks, D.
with the time and materials into the low mount alt set I will have to sell them for 185.00

Do the alt brackets come with a tensioner? Do you guys accept paypal?
I do not have pay pal set up yet but soon. and the tensioner does not come with it but when I send the parts out I include the part #'s for that and the alt. that we use. we can include both as well if you wish but the cost will go up. D.
Ok, all 6 of the low mount alt. setups are sold those that I have PMd are the ones that will be getting them. we will be doing another run of them that will be ready in under 2 weeks. this time we will be making 12 of them. PM me if you are intrested in one and we will PM you back in order whan they are ready to go. D.
we still have 4 full sets of auto mounts and 8 more motor mounts ready to go. as well as 4 more sets of SC block off plates.

Ok, all all the alt. mounts are boxed up and ready to be sent out now. I do have a few more orders than I have mounts but we have a jig for them now and all the parts are being water jetted so they will now go way faster. we plan to start another 20 sets next week. once we have them done I will PM those that are already on the list and then post them here as well for others. please send me your info in a PM so I can keep track of them.
also on another note I finaly set up Pay Pal it will be up and running by mid next week they just need to verify the account and I need to learn how to use it
we also have new custom Axles for the Auto swaps they are all new no old parts made for us to fit our mounts. they sell for 500 for the pair and will hold power up to 600 hp with no problems.
we hope to keep adding more products to our lineup every week.
some have shown intrest in headers as well and we are looking into building them for sale as well as the in shop installs. I need at least 10 people that want headers to make this happen we will keep cost as low as we can so they will be built from mild steel and will all be coated silver. the set will come with the headers and crossover pipe set up to run the same way as stock from the Y pipe you can run stock exhaust if you wish. not sure on price yet I am working on that and will keep you posted.
More to come D.

Ok, the first 5 sets went out yesterday. I still have 2 more people that want the low mount set and I will be getting all the parts to make 20 more this friday. I should have more ready to go out next week. PM me if you need them.
still have 4 sets of auto mounts and 10 motor mounts. D.
to those that are intrested in the headers. we only build them for in shop installs but we are working on mass producing them. I am not sure on price yet I will have to build a set here in shop and take them over to Headman where I will have them made for us. it will have to be a group by to get them going of 10 or more. this is a rare thing to have a company like Headman build low run headers. I have a friend that runs production and has agreed to do it for me. if this can come together we will have them for sale from then on out. I will need to pay a setup fee and they will have to make a set before we can set the price for them they will all be coated as well.
we now have 2 people that want them, need at least 8 more. the more we do the less they will be.
please do not say you want them if you can not afford it I will be taking deposits once I get the price for them. thanks and as always more to come.
one last thing we also carry re cut flywheels for the 3800 swaps 295.00
I have been waiting to see Tony's headers that you made for his choptop but who knows if they will ever make it back down here to Florida...
Will they be Getrag compatible. I am VERY interested. My Flowmaster is so close to the trunk wall I had to remove the carpet. My infrared temp gun said the trunk wall was 530 degrees... Ouch. Do you have ANY ball park figure you could PM me? $300 would have me down for multiple sets. But I know that is not reallity. More than $1,000 will make it harder to justify. I figure they will be somewhere in the middle, but where?
I've seen on here other members who have been making mounts and such, and 1 or 2 have offered 'low-profile' mounts... designed to mount the engine/tranny about 1 1/2 inches lower than stock... designed for those running intercoolers mainly, I think... any possibilities of seeing them here? also, the motor mounts and low-alt mount etc, do they also fit the series 1 engines? my donor car is only a 93...

the mounts sit low enough to use a short stack inter cooler just not a full one. I may build that option later because I plan on doing a full stack intercooler in my shop car so I will see what I can do.
as far as the S1 I am not sure I have not messed with them so I do not know if they will work. D.
Do youhave the mounts for a 5spd getrag? I decided to do my build on my extra cradle so I need to buy new mounts since the old ones are in still installed under my car. I would need all of them... engine/transmission

if you are using the 5 speed it uses the stock mounts the only one you would need from me would be the motor mount and maybe the low mount alt. the motor mount is 75 and the low mount alt. set is 185 + shipping D.
I am using the getrag but it is still installed in my car. I have a second cradle and getrag i'm installing on the side.this cradle had an auto in it before so I don't have any of the mounts. Maybe ill just buy stock mounts from someone.

they use the same stock mounts already. my mounts are like adaptors to the stock mounts for the 3800 and the 4T65E trans
new stock mounts can be had for under 50 bucks for the trans ant a local parts store. D.
