Default BRP Hot Rods LS Conversion

Anybody running the BRP Hot Rods LS conversion kit on a Camaro? In looking at their website, it appears their kit makes the motor sit higher and closer to the radiator. I was curious if anyone had photos of their engine compartment with this kit.

There's a number of people using them on ls1tech.com. They also have a line of headers out that are made by hedman. I've never used them personally but I'm not a fan of their design. It just looks weak using those control arm bushing type things instead of a traditional motor mount. Maybe it is perfectly fine but it just looks weird to me.

I ran it. Im about to remove it and go with either a factory setup or an aftermarket subframe. The BRP kit makes the turning radius about the same as my crew cab longbed truck.

How does a motor mount kit affect turning radius?

never mind. i guess they changed their setup. i just checked their website. I had their original kit from back in 2003 ish. It required a new rack and pinion and it changed the radius.
