Updates:
I have finally, after almost a year, started working on the adjustable rear toe crossbar.
I have road to oilpan clearance issues. As in, a big rock on the
road destroyed my oilpan.
Here's an update on my progress.
I gots an all aluminum LS1 V8 from a 1999 Camaro. It
hasHad the
4 speed automatic - not my first choice, but it was too good
a deal to pass up. And Now of course I have the T56
SO, I have pulled out the old SU L28 and 5 speed
and sold them)
and I'm sticking this 300hp (at the wheels But I know I can get 50 more!) source. I've already
removed
the stock Datsun engine mount towers to make room for the LS1 accessories
(alternator and A/C). The engine will be mounted
in the set back position ala JTR (no setback plates though) with the majority
of the motor living behind the strut towers. I have fabricated
some "legs" for the existing crossmember such that it will become a K
member. There will then be new towers built that will rest on the new
legs and will meet up with the standard LS1 motor mounts.
I'm using a custom (non-JTR) transmission mount that attaches to
the tunnel
rather than the 2 floor pans.
Much of the details of this project will be posted to the forum(s) at
hybridz.org.
