cmcdougle · 12-27-2006, 12:14 AM

can you post some pics of the mounts & crossmember? It's a nice swap. Looks nice. . .

OBEEWON · 12-27-2006, 04:41 AM

Nice work, lets see some action shots! Do it.

HalveBlue · 12-27-2006, 09:48 AM

Just wanted to say nice job. More pix, please.

whitey240 · 12-27-2006, 10:23 AM

Nice work... After the success of the LS1 in the pinks 240sx, I was thinking about throwing in a LS7 into a s14.

Not sure if I missed it, but what oil pan did you use?

drew935 · 12-27-2006, 11:46 AM

I know that a lot of us are wanting to know the part#'s and parts used to simplify this swap in the future.
So far your list in your first post is a good start. Now the LS1 part#'s for the pan, etc. will help.

ls180sx · 12-27-2006, 11:55 AM

the oil pan is a gto oil pan, thats the only route to go

zeek · 12-27-2006, 12:19 PM

more pics and specs on car

i wouldn't say its the only way to go... but its the only way to go using stock parts. We used hooker headers for an fbody too. So if you get creative there are plenty ways to do it! I would like to see more pics of your setup too.. Especially your frame rail modification and header modification to get around steering linkage!

regardless of what they think of it i truly view that oil pan design as garbage and well just plain overkill.

rossfashow · 12-27-2006, 08:42 PM

that car gives me a boner

haha what frame rail modification? It's not required at all, majority of work done to that car is overkill.......drag racing is gay

I was curious as the oil pan on the LS1 that you used... thats all.

I think the design was good, but was it overkill yes. Its hard when you work within a tight budget and timeline to build a car. I think that pan design allowed it to hold an extra quart or two of oil.

Ok so lets see some pics? I am simply trying to have a conversation and see how you did things. I am not saying there is a right or a wrong. And I am not coming on here to attempt to have a flame war on what is gay and what is not gay. The majority of that work to that car was done for a reason. If you would like to point out the overkill parts I will give you the reasons why it was done. sound fair?

cisco240 · 12-28-2006, 09:03 AM

Man that is sick. That is what I would want to do on my next 240.

zeek · 12-28-2006, 09:21 AM

adding more quarts to the oil pan is very retarded for that setup. its not doing 5ft wheelies and its not pulling 2g drifts so there is no oil starvation. the gto pan if you ever take the time to look at how its baffled is just plain awesome. theres nothing wrong with running a custom oil pan, but for what they where doing it was pointless and a waste of time. not to mention you can pick up a gto oil pan for like 100 bux. hell i traded mine for my f body oil pan.

as far as frame rails the motor itself sits about a good 6-8 inches from the frame rails on either side. this motor is very small for what it is so no frame rail mods are needed what so ever.

we were not really sure if it was going to pull the front wheels or not. I guess the pan was overkill but it worked. I have never looked at a GTO oil pan at all, my area is more with imports then domestic stuff. When we were doing the project we could not locate a pan for 100 bucks or we would have done just that.

datboibrad · 01-04-2007, 12:21 PM

well yea in that aspect i see why yall went that route. check out the gto pan if you ever go do a personal street car
