I bought a complete 97 SSEi and intend on bolting the 97 subframe in to eliminate the need for any custom mounts. Some of the dimensions are exact while others are +/- 1mm. The tollerance specs allow for +/- 3mm so it shouldn't be a problem. Although there is a question on if the torque axis mount will bolt in the right spot. I also intend to swap the AC lines to accomidate the axis mount which will mean I probably will have to swap all of the AC components.
Keep checking in.

I believe he is. I am still interested in the information about your swap and any details and pictures you can pass on would help out greatly. While I am just getting mine to stock now, I would like to be able to try the swap in a year or so. As for the swap on a 95, See if you can find a rear-wrecked 98-99 MC Z34 or Lumina LTZ and use that subframe. They have the 3.8 NA in them and the mounts will be the same, so no fab is needed.
Still looking for a weekend to come out and take that tractors for a test drive Bill. Just wanna get a baseline feel for it before you drop the LN3 into it.

make sure that you document the costs for insurance. We got royally screwed over when the bonneville got wrecked because we couldnt find the receipts for $1000+ worth of work we had done the year before.
