I believe they will serve many users well. I think one of the best features of this mounting system is that it can be used to mount either an LS, or an LT engine and put the crankshaft center line in the same location in either case, which means you could swap an LS into your truck now and then switch to an LT a few years down the road if you wish merely by replacing the clamshells on the engine and the headers. You wouldn't need to replace the transmission crossmember or the exhaust system.
