This is the prototype of the kit JTR will be offering, some bits currently available, check this link;
JTR BMW-LSx conversion kit 
Most aspects of the kit have been sorted and prototype bits built, only few little details to sort out. Headers are the last big hurdle.
Here is the driver side mount, ties the X-member to the frame rail, uses OE GM captured isolators available in varying stiffnesses, allows for slight adjustably fore-aft, left-right, up-down.

Headers arrived, excellent quality and fit very well. 1 3/4" long tube mild steel, 3” V-band flange.
Excellent clearance between the #7 primary and Mercedes booster as well as the stock BMW steering shaft. Taking them down to Finish-line coatings here in Portland on Monday for their Turbo-Black ceramic.

Now with headers here, mounts can be finalized, trans X-member designed and built around the GM F-bod LS1 trans isolator, heater hose/pipe routed, final fuel line routing into the engine bay, etc.

Here are some shots of the soon to be released JTR E36 LSx long tube mild steel headers.
