I'm assuming you're asking about the engine cradle? About $100-150 if it's in good shape.

You could send it To Brian Hinson and it will next see service supporting an LS1. He'd proabbly give you $150 $200 for it. You might try PMing him. He goes by V8 Lover

I paid $150 for a cradle that was clean because that was the only one I could find. Not everyone strips a car down that far.

yes the engine cradle is the part im talking about. im doing a 20b conversion and have 2 options: buy a pre-made one from pettit, or send it to someone on the forum who will convert my existing one to take the 20b. pettit wants $2100, and the guy on the forum wants 1700 to mod my subframe so im trying to decide.

i think that for that price the pettit one comes with the modified spindels for the repositioning of the rack & pinion you will have to do. not sure but call them up to double check

Did you try Alamo Rotary?

kempo: yeah the pettit one comes w/ the modded spindles, but the kit that this guys makes on the forum includes an extention to lengthen the steering rack arms.


TireSmokin7: what about alamo rotaty?
