LS ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET KIT
The DSE LSX engine mount bracket kit enables easy, no hassle installation of any LSX engine into the DSE hydroformed subframe. Our kit locates the engine in the proper location, provides the correct method of adapting the 3-bolt engine mounts to the 4-bolt LSX engine, and requires no fabrication.
Unlike others, the DSE kit comes complete with the following:
- Frame side engine mount stands
- CNC aluminum adapter plates
- Polyurethane engine mounts
Steering Coupler
The Steering Coupler U-joints utilize the latest in CNC machining technology. The U-joints are made out of the highest quality steel and have been thoroughly tested. Similar to OEM automotive U-joints, the staked needle bearing caps prevent loosening and adjustment malfunction.
The shaft is a DD that can be easily trimmed to exact length needed. Shafts are 12" in length as received.
Also available are vibration reducers
(DSE recommended) which significantly reduce vibration in the steering wheel and have also been shown to increase the overall life of the steering components.
The Steering Coupler comes in many different configurations which are listed below for you to properly choose the correct size and joint for your application. It is available in plain steel or polished stainless steel; as well as, with or without a vibration damper.
Note: On stock steering columns, verify output shaft type and spline before ordering. Please call with any questions.

HYDROFORMED SUBFRAME
Detroit Speed & Engineering’s all new front subframe is a bolt-in replacement for the original stock subframe. It improves the handling and ride quality by utilizing DSE’s unique suspension geometry. It is the ONLY subframe in the aftermarket industry with hydroformed frame rails. The hydroformed frame rails feature strength and stiffness, relatively low weight, and precise quality and repeatability. Hydroforming preserves the steel’s strength and stiffness because it is performed at low temperatures, unlike traditional high temperature processes which decrease material strength.
The subframe comes complete with the following components:
• Hydroformed Framerails
• Stamped Crossmembers
• Tubular Upper and Lower Control Arms
• Coilover Shocks for Subframe with "Detroit Tuned" valving
• Coilover Spring
• Power Rack and Pinion Steering
• Splined Sway Bar
• C6 Steering Knuckles and Bearing Packs
A 10" wide wheel can be packaged without modification to the inner wheel wells. Both the main and secondary crossmembers are stamped for structural rigidity. SBC, BBC, LS1, LS2, and LS7 engines have been designed as a direct bolt-in into this subframe.
The DSE subframe has been designed, engineered, and developed for the road and track. This subframe blends the benefits of current OEM technology and aftermarket performance into one product!
The subframe is available uncoated and unassembled for your SBC, BBC, or LSX engines. We also offer the subframe powdercoated satin black and assembled.
NOTE: Subframe must ship freight
