Help please? V8 conversion kit?

Hey I'm from the uk! I have already put a new members post of my car up. Tried to do a new treat in a different section but won't let me! :/ dunno why.

Anyways I'm searching for a company that do a mount kit for ls1. I keep searching and it comes back to a company called Hinson Motorsport! I have enailed them a couple of times but no reply! Are they still on business? Is there ls1 up and running?

If anyone else knows any other company's can you let me know please.

Any help would be great!

Just called the number on the website. (Free call for me being on this side of the pond) Got an automated menu. Chose "3" for business hours. 9am-5:30pm Monday -Friday Central standard time.

I assume they are in business.

Good luck, this is attempted by many and successfully pulled off by VERY few. Like 2 that I can think of off hand. Hinson has a terribly reputation here for ill-fitting parts and horrible customer service.

Again, good luck. My only recommendation is read the many build threads in this sub-forum all the way through. Only way to get yourself ready for what you're up against.

Thank you. I believe we have a few over here in the uk now as well. Are Hinson the only company that do a kit then?

I have notice there's a lot of people talk about it but can never find much being done lol. Need to go through and find some good build treads.

Thank you for the advice and information. much appreciated.
