engine and transmission mounts done tonight

Your work is fantastic, like abstract art! Haha, love it!!!

Looks like its coming together fit and function is what its all about

What are doing for drive shaft? I lucked up and already had a one piece s13 drive shaft that I just stuck the 4l60e yoke on and it fit. If I remember right the F body was a tad long...easily could have been shortened to work though

i might cut a longer than i need, tube out of the yard, and have a friend do the ends,

or just drop off the *** end and yolk at the drive shaft shop like i usually do and have them tube, balance, weld etc, then i can just toss it in and do 160+

7GRANDGERNADE

Sounds like option 2 be the way to go. Go ahead and throw you in some solid rear subframe bushing in sounds like your going to need all the traction help you can get.

Any chance you measured the length of the connecting "rod" between the motor and chassis mount? That is pretty much exactly how I was thinking about setting up my mounts. Awesome work once again.

denmah

yeah i can measure them for you before i put the manifolds in, honestly ill just get you plate to plate measurement, but why not just throw yours together when you do it, you might have the trans or engine in a slightly different spot or k member cut more or less than me, etc

but i will gladly give you the measurement between the plates, haha

denmah, if you were doing something like this but with MS3 to run the engine, and you didn't have a 60e sitting there that you wanted to use, would you maybe use a glide, or TH350, or what? Thanks!

(or would you say that it's just a lot better idea to get familiar with HPT? Lol)

denmah

iTrader: (2)

i think ms3 is too complex, i like ms2 better, or stock ecu, honestly i would probably th400 because its smaller, glides are expensive and hard to find.

Tjabo

D'oh! I thought glides were the tiniest, glad I asked -- thanks!!!

denmah

iTrader: (2)

glides are the smallest, just higher up than a th400 to operate unless you have one, or a freind has one etc etc haha
least in my area its way easier to get a th400

Tjabo

Thanks!

should fly when its done. what are you doing for a rear end? Q45 diff?

denmah

iTrader: (2)

Stock diff axles etc

^^^You are a brave man. Some people have been lucky keeping it stock but anything over 350+ lbs/TQ (estimated based on HP) has destroyed those things. The only two options I have seen handle that kind of power are the Q45 setups and the Skyline diff setup. I swapped over to the early gen 90-94 Q45 with the 3.54 ratio and stronger 31 spline axles (300zx TT and Q45 hybrid) along with the 300zx TT hubs. These things have proven to take a beating.

Also went with an SPL solid diff bushing to help with power.

were those people automatic, stock converter?

its a disk brake car im not afraid

I’d give the OEM rear a shot personally.

Everyone told me I was insane to run the “weak” rx-7 auto diff with the tiny axles… Because Stock 95ftlb rotary motors break them with a few hard launches.

With my auto setup loading it up on the converter I ran that diff for 5+ years with no issues. Hundreds of 10-11 sec passes and low 1.7x 60’s Dipping into the 1.6x range at the end. I never broke it. It’s mostly drive train “shock” that breaks things. Autos don’t “shock”.

exactly what im trying to tell him haha

its amazing what you can get away with foot braking a turbo auto
