if you want to do it right....do this....

you'll have plenty of room for a header up front and down below. you not only get better axle allignment but you gain alot of traction in the process

hope that helps

 

the hasport mounts will sit the back of the engine a little higher than other kits which is a small plus for ground clearance but you 'might' have issues with the engine rubbing the hood. the z-10 radius arm kit is a must for big headers. the stock front crossmember will have to be notched which will weaken it if you decide not to go the z-10 route. be aware that the z-10 kit makes a lot of noise because of the solid heim joints. it kinda worried me at first when i installed mine but i was later told that's just a characteristic of a solid joint. not only wil traction greatly increase but having a nice stiff front end is oh so nice!

thanks...forgot to mention that......might have to cut the supports out of the center of your stock hood or go with a different hood.

 

how much did you get your B20VTEC for?

I paid a total of $1850.00 b16a complete swap & b20 longblock.

What kind of noise does the Z10 cross member make freud? Is it noticeable to other people while your driving?

 

Where the radius arms bolt on to the front crossmemer and the lower control arms they have a bearing of sorts which allow the arms to twist a small degree. When the ends physically can not twist any further you will hear several little clunkings. Most noticeable when stopping to a dead stop or accelerating from a dead stop. Passengers will notice it but I have never heard of anybody commenting on it from outside the car.

 

Will that cause anything to break in the longrun?

 

have you guys seen the new place racing front crossmember?
Looks like the same design as the Z10 one except it also has flanges for a front engine mount.
A lot of people say you don't need a front mount but I just pulled my engine this weekend to find that the rear mount was broken.

 

Z10 EF kit also comes with a front mount provision if you specify for it. They just came out with it about 1 month ago. I am an authorized dealer with Z10 if you need something.

how much for a z10? i got a friend that wanted to sell me a different kind of front crossmember but i don't know what brand it was... he wanted 3 bills for it and it had no front mount.. will the z10s front mount be secure..? cuz it seems like it wouldn't.. i got HCP mounts and i want to utilize my front mount..

 

I am sure that it will. Do you actually think that a company as large as Z10 will sell it if the mount is not secure. I was working with them to make a provision for the front motor mount on the HCP kit.

i was just wondering.. geez...
