Those pictures were helpful. I don't get why the excessive kit requires such modification to the subframe when the defined kit doesn't. They both put the engine in the same location.
I wonder if you did the defined steering rack shave you'd be able to leave the subframe alone with the rest of the excessive kit.

I was talking with Lou-how-ya-do about both kits last night since he previously had the Defined kit and this is what I get from it. The Defined kit keeps the engine at a angle in order to barely clear the subframe and steering rack, but still won't clear one of the P/S fittings, that's why you have to send the rack to them.
With the Xcessive kit you have to notch the subframe and weld the subframe kit, with this you lower the engine on the front about 1" and keeps it more level, also it allows you to keep A/C, P/S and Alt in stock location. So for around $1500 you get the engine mount kit, subframe weld in kit, and the oil pan kit, however you don't get the the shorter intake as you get with Defined when you send them your LIM to be cut and welded. But you can always send it to Chip and he can take care of that part and the Xcessive kit should be around same price as the Defined Deluxe kit, or you can buy the Xcessive Short LIM.
I'm leaning towards the Xcessive kit, I have seeing in person some of the parts that were modified by Defined and wasn't to impressed with the quality of the work done to the parts they modified.

I have the motor mounts and mount adptors for the 20B. They are top quality. If the rest of the pieces are as good then it seems like a good kit. To mount it the same height as defined and avoid the subframe mod you could just put a spacer under the motor mount.
I think the excessive short LIM is a no brainer vs modifying stock. Maybe we could get a package deal haha

Agree, by the time you mod your LIM you only a few hundred away from buying the Xcessive Short LIM. They should make a whole package deal with or without the Short LIM.
Also looking at the Xcessive Subframe it was also made in order to also clear their oil pan kit front sump.
Only thing I don't like is that bracing they did to the passenger side mount, I guess I can add solid bracing to it.

I spoke with Chip not to long ago about making me a sub frame that doesn't change the rack position and allows me to move the block further back from the stock 13b position... He said he will be releasing a solution that will accomplish this with the stock sub frame.

That's unfortunate, I also thought about running the xcessive LIM one day but if this is the case then I'll stick with what I have. However I wonder if the xcessive oil pan will clear the stock height rack using the defined mounts. It would be nice if they gave dimensions on their products..
