That's correct, we are. Look for more news after the first of the year.

That would be a simple swap i mocked
k20 from si in there looks easy some welding but looks like you could build a drop down brkt
from rear x-member then side mounts///

A drop down bracket from the rear would cause the engine to have to sit too far forward. We constructed a new rear mount which replaces the rear bracket, so that it would clear the rear x-member when the engine was properly placed in the car.

Unfortunately the engine bay is a little too narrow to easily modify the K20 mounts.

... so what your saying is, in order to change the oil on that thing you'd have to get an engine lift...

is it going to be a straight drop, or will there be some cutting and welding involved? also, what' time span before it's released, 1 year, 1year+, etc...

The Hasport EFK kit will require the right-hand bracket to be removed. There will be a bracket manufactured by Hasport to replace it. I'll determine if bolt in will be strong enough, but if not, it may require welding. It will use the stock rear and left-hand mounting points.

I'll let you know when I think they will be released after the first of the year. Within 3-4 months is my guess though. The H22 kit is being designed at the same time.
