    Regal V6 mounts sound right. The Buick 231, 3.8L V6 and all small block Buicks use the same mounts. I'd say that's a good place to start. The 340 is a nice engine. It was only built for two years, 1966-67. It was superceded by the 350, similar but not quite the same. Heads are different on the 350. The 340 uses the Buick 300 top end and the Buick 350 bottom end. Believe it or not, aluminum big valve heads are soon to be available to fit the 340. Greg

    Is it your intention to swap the 340 and 2-speed in as is? Or... do you intend to build up the 340 a bit? None of the Chevy mounting stuff will work. However, if anyone has dropped in a Buick V6, THAT stuff will work. Same mounting points and mounts. Greg

    A 301 is an absolute DOG! I really suggest you find another Pontiac to try out. A 350 would be a better place to start. Greg

    I hate to ask, but wouldn't using the front suspension out of an 88-92 Supra have been a better way to go? It's narrower and has the same basic setup as the SC300. It might have been a better fit. Greg

    Motor mounts. They appear to be sectioned and rewelded Dodge truck brackets on Datsun biscuits. http://forums.hybridz.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1146&d=1156092772 http://forums.hybridz.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1147&d=1156092901 I took these pics a few years ago when I came across a 240Z with a Mopar 360 stuffed in it in a boneyard. Car is long gone now... Greg

    You're also going to have to come up with your own oil pan. The stock one won't work: http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/2685/dscf0018cc3.jpg Check out the work this guy has done: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/efi_diy/ Greg

    The R154 will bolt to the Colorado bell with no mods. The W58 is less strong and won't fit any bell. You'd have to fab up something. Another option is to fab up an adapter plate like the Austin Healey guy did. The 4200 has the dowels for bellhousing alignment centered to withing .004" of the stock Chevy bell. If you put the Chevy bell up to the back of the 4200 using the dowels, you can fab up a plate to make it work. Greg

    This is a pic of a Toyota R154 hooked up to a ColoradoCanyon stick shift bellhousing. It fits the 4.2L perfectly. You can probably find them on carpart.com. As for a 4200 flywheel, contact Jerry Weigt weigts@sbcglobal.net . He's got them in billet steel for $275. Greg

    Get over to the Inliners.org board. Lots of info on this baby. There's a source for flywheels as well.. Also http://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/read.php?40,581696 Greg

    I took some pics of a 240Z with a 360 in a boneyard. The owner just took a set of brackets from a Dodge truck, cut them in half, fit them up with Datsun biscuits and welded them back together. Piece of cake really. Greg

    On the bellhousing issue. I've been told that two dowels in the 3 o'clock and the 9 o'clock position on the Colorado bellhousing line up to those of a Chevy V8 bellhousing to within .004". Using the Chevy bell as a template, it would be pretty easy to fab up an adapter plate. Greg
  22. Greg55_99
    Yes, you can definitely use an R154 to hook up a 4200 using the Colorado/Canyon bellhousing. The issues you'll have to figure out are what gear ratio's you want to use and where you want the shifter. Solstice shiifter is farther back than the R154. Greg

    After seeing this, I'd say that engine is pretty tall. It might not fit under the hood of a Z. http://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/read.php?40,581696 Greg
