Default Ls1-240

Hey guys, I'm new here. I'm planning on droppping a LS1-T56 into my 90 240SX. I've seen a guy who makes custom mounts, driveshaft ect for S13's. His email is V8-240SX@comcast.net. I've emailed him a few times about getting a price quote. But i have been getting no reply. If anyone knows how to get a hold of him, or has some useful tips/advice for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake

There are only a few of those conversions done... should scoot. You probably have to make your own engine/trans mounts if you can't get in touch with that guy.

LS1/T56 in anything rips!

I prefer making my own mounts anyway. That way I can put the engine excatly where I want it. Also helpful if you are doing a custom driveshaft in order to get the alignment just right. Just need a mig, some chromemolly tubing and some flat stock. I used two sections of square tubing on each side welded to the crossmember and a long bolt to go through the OEM mounts and the tubes.

Me to, its good stuff I got most of the metal from some scraps that my friend had laying around and payed a friend $20 to weld the cross member together and a loacal shop welded the motor mounts, make a bracket for the master cylender, and a bracket for the pedals for $140.
