Default Another LS240sx

Been mulling over the idea of an S13 240sx and last night at the track my stock bottom end finally cut loose in my T/A, so time to actually build a 240! Going to pull the built T56, clutch, harness and pcm out of the Trans Am and sell it as a roller, do I need anything else out of it? Obviously not the blown motor, going 6.0 for that. Accessories will be pulled also.

What's the best bolt in swap kit for these cars? I've done a little poking around, seems like sikky is pretty good, can anyone vouch for them or another company?

When I do my swap im going with fueled racing for several reasons.
1.) They have a nice moroso oil pan with baffles
2.) Its quite a bit cheaper than sikky
3.) Tried and true just the same
4.) I know their headers can clear a 4l60e as im probably going to go auto.

Go check out silviav8forums.com. that will be super helpful it has literally everything you need to know.

best route you can possibly do, i hope you do it in an s13 coupe. 2600lbs without driver full weight is just nasty. A cam only 6.0 in there is good for mid 120mph passes.


Some motivation.

That car does 9.7 @ 138 on spray! Definitely motivation there.

Thanks for the link Tainted, I need to head over there and read some threads!
