How DGR Fabrication Developed its LSXV-8 Engine Mount Kit
»Remove and reinstall the engine six times while perfecting its location
»Fabricate some steel mock-up mounts
»Model the mock-ups in SolidWorks 3-D CAD design software
»Send the CAD drawings to a machine shop, where the Orange-anodized aluminum mounts are produced on a computer-controlled mill
»Reinstall the engine one last time, using a custom wiring harness and a custom DSS one-piece driveshaft
»Go do big smoky drifts with all that V-8 torque
