I've been meaning to ask you about your K2RD mounts. I've got two local rotorheads here who are interested in doing some 20B FCs. Are they still available? I haven't seen any pictures on their website or anywhere else for a long time. Are they still sold for $240 or whatever they were? Also, do you know the name of the other company that sells them? Wasn't it FC3S.org or something? I think their price was like $430?
How far back are you wanting to move your engine? Is this so you'll be able to use a stock swaybar?

the k2rd mounts are still available and they are cheaper now they list for $275
um hey i hadnt thought about moving it back for the stock sway bar, lol, thats a great idea. i was thinking to move the wieght a little further back and down (1/2 down is gonna happen, 1-2" back would be nice), i'm also thinking about going na, instead of single turbo with a 3 barrel weber style intake?

You've got an early engine, right Mike? Is that why you'd go NA? Three Webers would be cool. 
But so is a turbo. Is a T51 sort of small for a 20B? Or am I just going by what everyone says when they say they'll get a T66 or T78 or something the size of the engine itself?
How would I order the mounts? Should I email K2RD directly?
I finally got back to working on the GLC today. I finished the hardware for the fuel cell so it's done now. I also reinstalled the old tranny mount after ovaling some holes that weren't drilled quite right. The next step will be to figure out if I'd like to have it in the garage vs outside to put a 13B in it. I leaning towards inside so the weather won't prevent me from working on it. I'd like to get it going in two weeks, which would be possible if I had everything here I needed.
Summit only takes 1 to 2 days to deliver, according to their catalogue.

i do have an early motor but i have no plans to run more than 10-12psi on it, i just think na would loose a lot of wieght, and complexitude.

I think I'll be taking my REPU apart tomorrow. I got a ribcase 5 speed for it. I guess the official story will be that I'm puting the 20B in the REPU, you know, to stifle the naysayers. Then the 13B will go in the GLC and I'll try to get it running in two weeks. You know the rest.
