THAT's very cool. I always thought lifting plates wouldn't apply on a GM TPI or Ford EFI manifold, but he's figured it out.

Some people pronounce the "S" in Illinois. It helps to weed out the monosyllabic.

Bummer. Anyone have a dimensioned drawing of the crossmember?

In the mid 1970's several of my neighbors had Z cars in Scottsdale, AZ. The first one I saw from across the street, I asked my dad if it was a Jaguar E-type, and he said, "Nope it's a Datsun". A friend in high school had access to a 260Z that his dad drove almost daily. My friend Scott, rarely got to drive it, but came by my house one day with the Z, carrying the newspapers for his his newspaper route in the back! That was the first time I saw the interior - it seemed so "sporty" in contrast to my family's Ford Maverick! I mis-spoke and called it a 280Z since that was the model that was always on TV commercials at the time. He corrected me and said his carburetted 2.6L was a better engine than the mysterious, new, EFI 280Z. The first Z I rode in was with a friend at Summer camp in 1980, Moses Hernandez had a green 240Z that he was making weekly ($30!! remember those days?) payments on . We got a weekly "pass" to ride into town and experience civilization in Payson, AZ. He would take 3 passengers (2 under the hatch, me in the passenger seat - long legs) along for the 15-mile gravel roads through the Coconino National Forest. Then on the twisty highway through mountains and canyons. You couldn't slap the smile off his face as he said "This is what this car was made for!!" No doubt the primitive roads were the cause of a few loose bolts and rattles. Since I worked in the vehicle mainenance shop, Mo asked me to fix the muffler clamp. While crawling under the 240Z, that was the first time I'd seen a non-Corvette with IRS. 8 years later I'm browsing through Leo Gepharts exotic car dealership and there in the warehouse is a gloss black 250 GTO replica. I heard the angels sing. The badges said "Ferrari", but the windshield glass said "Nissan". It has a 350 chevy and 4 speed. (Nah, I wasn't looking it over too closely )

Be sure you have a new driveshaft on your shopping list too.

Welcome Mike. FORD 302 and 351W oil pans are not interchangeable - due to the block size. Both come in front sump or rear sump style, depending on the chassis. For example '64-'78 Mustang V8s have a front sump pan, '79-'95 Mustang V8s have a rear sump pan. You should be able to get a stock (or aftermarket) front sump pan for your '87 302. One issue is the dipstick location - it's all relative to the sump: more info and photos here: http://midnightdsigns.com/Mustang/Engine.htm I believe that the 200SX, 240SX, Maxima, and Infinity M30 use a Front sump pan while I know the '70-'89 Zs use a rear sump, so Nissan built them both ways as well.... Let us know if you find any off-the-shelf, pre-made mounts for this engine/chassis combination. My guess is there is no such thing - until you pay $omeone to make it or or make it yourself.

Nissan part number for the maxima rear disc brake brackets = 44155-04S10. The key word is REAR. Only. You wouldn't be looking for anything off the front of a Maxima.

No need for custom-made: - Driveshaft - Speedometer drive - Shifter linkage - Coolant lines - Crossmember

Brass synchros need gear oil viscosity. Was is ATF you put in?

Chaparral2f, What kind of cooling fan did you use? Electric or crank-driven?

YIKES! Isn't there a correct-length Hyd. Throwout Bearing for the T-10? or was it your clutch choice that caused the interference?
