schlimgenmatt Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have read a bunch of the thread info and it seems that some have built their own mounts but most have bought their mounts. I would like to build mine and didn't know if anyone had ever measured any specific dimensions for them? I have a 1973 240z and a RB25DET. I am planning on using the standard 240z mounts/insulators and then installing the custom brackets over them. I will attached pictures of what I have so far.

mtnickel Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I didn't measure specific dimensions, as the fool who sold me the project car had cut down the stock towers. Therefore all measurements would have been meaningless. I do know however that as you have it positioned will probably put the engine a decent ways away from the firewall (maybe 2-3"?). Mine is perhaps a TINY bit too tight as the trans is darn close to the fuel lines at the tunnel entrance, and I probably don't have enough space to get a chain onto a trans bolt to lift it out. I have to first slide the motor forwards to then secure the hoist bolt. But everything I read said you want the engine as far back and low as possible as not to affect weight balance too much. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/116416-my-1974-260z-rb-the-neverending-project/?p=1116578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
