Wow!! Looks like you are going to have to experiment with things. The rubber mount looks fairly simple. Maybe they just forgot to pack it with the kit.  I hope the rear mount fits because of how wide it is and I like the lateral support that it gives. I would think it will fit because that is what will realign the axles front to rear?? Not sure about the angle. On the bright side it looks as if you have some room around and under the exhaust manifold for the exhaust system. Will you custom built your exhaust or does Renegade have something built ?? Sorry for all the questions.... I am just excited for you. I wish I lived a bit closer so I could come by and help ya out. Last question for now.. What is your time line?? |

I hope they forgot it but somehow I doubt it! The axles/transmission pretty much line themselves up, it the mount if bad wrong then you won't even be able to get the axles into place. I'm sure the axles are going to be the weak link in the system so hopefully the Renegade boys come up with a better solution, either that or i'll take some axles up to Indy - those guys can make anything up there
The exhaust should be fun and yes I plan to build it myself! The LS system comes with O2 sensors so those will have to be welded into place but I would also like to add some small catalytic converters to make sure it is smog compliant. I must say I like one system they did in particular with a pair of Magnaflow mufflers and may just copy the design...
I have not checked out that build yet but will indeed, thanks!
I made a bit more progress yesterday although the pictures are still on my phone and I'm feeling lazy so i'll post them later. Most of the cutting on the mid-lower section of the firewall is done and cleaned up. Just need to notch out the top of the firewall which I may wait until the motor/transmission are bolted together to do a bit of test fitting rather then just cutting by looking at pictures!
