Please put out some more pictures of the engine bay, underneath and on top, looks like the shifter fits nicely.

when you drift it put an extra quart of oil in it, otherwise you will spin a bearing (happend to 2 other 240SX guys on this board)

becuase of the g forces the oil actualy moves away from, and stays away from the pickup tube, the extra quart fixes the issue. you dont have to worry about the crank foaming the oil becuase it has a windage tray and some baffaling between the pan and crank

ls1neezy, you mentioned you were in Calif. What did you have to do to register the car with the LS1 engine? I guess you kept all the original smog equipment on it?

thx!

just whent to the scales to get a weight of the car ..


2616 + 165 with me in it . this is with a 1/8 below 1/2 tank .. and i can still save a little by removing all the sound dedening .

a friend has a simaler car with a sr20de non turbo and he was at 2500

both our cars are gutted and pritty much the same except motor

Nice swap. Besides the headers, did you fabricate the motor and transmission mounts?
