i have two options that i'm thinking of doing. one is a v8 swap but i would like to get some info on the swap kits for the ls engine, and the weight distribution of the kits. two is a 1jz with 6 speed the guy who makes the kit said to get a cobra diff conversion so if anyone know somebody that makes a conversion or that has done a jz or ls swap

Supras are expensive but I see what you getting at haha.
Do a search hick. Lots of info out there. hinson supercars makes an LSx kit. Alot of people do it and it preserves alot of the original rx7 characteristics.

just my 2 cents worth, but how much horsepower are you wanting?
They make 1K intakes for the toyo 6, much cheaper to get 750+ hp from modded ls6

Samburg makes a diff mount for the Cobra 8.8 rear also. Everyone that has put in the Cobra rear has had good things to say about it. The issues from earlier mounts from years past have been alleviated from what I understand.

hicklinc

is there any other mounts other than jimlab and Samberg Rod and Custom

voetsek

Hinson Supercars, Samburg Customs & Granny's are the only commercially produced mounts that I know of. The jimlab group buy cradles were back in the day and are not made anymore & the last company that was making them, well, you don't want to buy one of those cradles.

Jim's design was great, but the place that used his design last went out of business a while back.

jimlab

Justin's engine cradle is directly based off mine. I provided him with an original cradle and waterjet cut templates, and he modified the design to be different than the "Dynotested" cradles.

I apologize & learned something today. It seems that quite a few of the "good" designs have roots with the JimLab original design. It only seems to get better with every iteration. Kinda like JimLab's rear cradle which I also have.
