Hear are more pics of the zx swap. On the oil pan if you measure from the bellhousing flange toward the front you will make your cut at 10", cut up toward the pan rail till you are even with the most shallow part of the pan, cut forward at least 5" I will try to get pics of my cut out sorry guys I didn't get a pic of the pan. On the motor mounts I used 1/2" flat plate welded to the cross member where the original mounts we're, used 1 1/2" back plates on engine from T&D with chevy clamp shells and 77 chevy truck rubber mounts. This set the motor very close to the rack and pinion so I will say test fit stuff and get every thing where you want it first. I hope this helps some one who is looking at doing this swap. If I need to add delete or reword anything let me know.

I will try to figure out how to resize tonight when I get home from work. Thanks for the compliment I will also post manifold pics oil pan deminsions later.

Bringing this thread back to life. I got my ls1 6 speed bolted in know working on wiring and exhaust.Had to cut down a 98-02 F-body oil pan, install a 3rd knuckle in the steering shaft to go around the manifold, using a F-body manifold on drivers side flange cut off,and c5 vette on passangers with flange cut off.

Thanks for the info I may look into the pan you are using.I would rather spend 500 then do an lt1 swap.

It may be in the forums some where but havent seen it yet.Does anyone know if an H3 oil pan will work in a 82 280zx.Thanks for any info.
