Not your average LT1 :) LT1 240sx EDIT EDIT EDIT: See page 3 https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...1-240sx-3.html for a video and 50 pictures starting from the SR20 engine removal to the completed project.
Here's a little teaser of the latest project. We ripped his SR20 engine out earlier this summer, we just got the trany this week (my buddy got scammed on one T56 before this) and have about 3 nights work in it.

There's a guy on here who did an LS into one. I can give you his name if you want. He lives close to me, but had just moved, I was going to see if I could get a ride in it

Yeah shoot me his name formula350. The engine is fairly stock. Has a 268xfi cam, chromoly pushrods, 1.6 pro mag rockers, beehive springs. Trany is stock with a spec 3 clutch and spec steel flywheel.
The car will be an all around car, drag, drift, street, autoX, etc.
I'm hoping it will run high 11s or better.

His name is ranger2339.
I called his car an "LS13" for being an LS1 equipped S13. So, you may use LT13 if you like
He linked me to a video of it as well: (Takes a bit to actually get into the video, skip to 1minute left on the counter)

yeah I'm waiting to pull the engine to finish the welds. Easier to get at it from better angles and I will melt the poly engine mounts if I keep welding with them in there. I'm working on the headers now just came in for a little break.

Passenger header pretty much done as you can see.
Didn't like the old trany cross member, wasn't strong enough. I started on this one, we'll see if I can snake the exhaust over top of it. Might need oval piping to clear the passenger side.

Looks nice. Shame that our 454 into an S-10 project's header build didn't have that sort of room and ease of making it
EDIT: Why not use bolt-in braces under the exhaust tunnels on the old cross member to help strengthen it back up? If you do that, then when you remove the exhaust you just unbolt those pieces and drop it down. And maybe on that one angle top piece that's against the body, hammer or notch the floor pan for clearance? Then you could scoot the tunnel over a tad so it doesn't interfere with the trans mount and have it all boxed in then.
