Besides working out the mount setup what were the biggest challenges you encountered with the swap?

I emailed the guy a few months ago when I came across his car, don't remember what website though. The only thing is that these are for an iron block not an LS1/T56 combo like I had been planning at the time, but he can make custom ones for you if you like. Hopefully this is what you guys were talking about.

hey very cool stuff you guys, LS1+240sx = sweetness. I wanted to build one too, but the 2nd Gen RX7 is so easy to find for cheap and the mount kits are complete bolt in with no changes to the steering rack so I decided to build an RX7 instead... I'm very happy with it. I'd love to see more pics of your LS1240SX buildups though! especially the underside/cradle/rack/mounts/firewall... thanks. and get some fender flares on those 240's so ytou can fit some wider tires out back!

yeah, I've seen vids of an Ls1 240Z. Was impressive seeing him leave a strip of rubber a few car lengths long that started at 45-50 mph.
If anyone has V8 240sx vids then post em here.
Owen, where did you find the kit for the FC-3S? Is this an LS1 kit?

New to the forums but not to 240sx. I have the good ole SR20DET in my '96 240sx but I'm tired of spending money on it and it not having as much horsepower as i would like. I'm getting an '03 LS1 corvette motor to do the swap. I also emailed the "Swap" guy for the parts I will need. I'll post all the pics as I am going to do the swap myself with a friend in his garage. Hopefully it won't be too complicated but as with any swap...
I just think that more horsepower for less money is the right way to go. Japanese stuff is nice but it's just to damn expensive and parts are hard to find. Although the domestic V8 is new to me, I'm excited to learn all about it.
