240SX ls1 engine install options I'm in the planning stages of my next project. I want to put a LSx/T56 in a 97 Nissan 240sx. From what I've read it will require a GTO oil pan so I've decided to just get a GTO drive train for the swap.
What are my options for installing the motor? Do I have to have mount adaptors or are the differences something a little fab work would take care of? Also courious if anyone makes swap headers for the 240.
Any info would be appreciated.

You should really become a member on silviav8. There is a lot of information on there.
There are several different swap kits available now for the 240sx. 3 companies that I can think of make headers for the swap. If you have a good shop you can probably do all the mounting yourself, it is fairly easy.

Thanks
I have the fab skills to build almost anything. I was just hoping to find pics from someone elses build to help me get a game plan going. Google searches have turned up only old threads from this site and a bunch of utube videos.

Here is a link to all the pictures I took during my swap:
http://www.rigidracing.com/ebaypics/ls1swap/
Most are really crappy quality phone pictures, but they should give you some indication of what I had to do.
Good luck with your swap.

Try sikky, daft, pxracing, hinson. Those are the main ones that offer a kit or there of.

i ended up joining silviav8.com. Dosen't seem to be the same free sharing of info over there that we have here. Either that or we just have one hell of a lot more traffic on this forum. Either way, thanks for the tips. I've got something to think over now.
Now....Anyone got either a 97+ 240sx or a GTO LSx fro sale.

Well silviav8.com is a niche forum so there's a lot less traffic but still a lot of info over there. I'm not just saying that because I'm a moderator over there either 
PM me if you have any questions regarding the swap. I'll help out a fellow Air Force guy.
