30 ounce Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I used Hoke Performance 240Z mounts for my late 260Z (280 chassis)with an LS1/T56 and it works fine. Hoke's new 280Z mounts offer more room for the exhaust system, I used Hawks (American Racing) headers and had to downsize the exhaust from the header 3" out to 2 1/2" then back to 3" to feed through the mounts. The 280 mounts should easily fit a full 3" system. It didn't seem to effect my power output though. The steering shaft is a tight fit through the headers too. As far as I can tell it doesn't rub. The other problem I had was the LS1 alternator is different than the LS2 I had to trim the back plastic cover on the alternator just a bit to clear the motor mounts. Edited October 19, 2017 by 30 ounce Added alternator info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 2018..... Old war horse come back from the dead for a 3rd S30 project. Going turbo, tub, cage this time for 8.5 second quarter mile time. From what I read, Dirty Dingo seem to be my best bet considering I am not worried about long tube headers or exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
