Guest JESTER3798 Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 ok i have the ls1 and the t56. i have the 78 280z. i have done numerous searches on the ls1 install. what i have found is that some say the ls1 and the jtr plates will work and some say they wont work. my question is... what gives will it work or wont it work. it seems a lot of people are confusing the ls1 and the lt1. any info on the swap will help thanks ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 There's no one on this site that claims the JTR plates will work. They will not. Now, Lonestar1 used a variation on the JTR setback plates to mount his motor. The plates end up being very long though and must be anchored to the strut rod mount. These plates bear very little resemblance to the JTR plates though. They do mount to the crossmember towers, but they have "ears", welded perpendicular to the plate surface, that connect to the bolt thru style LS1 motor mounts. I am in the process of cutting the Datsun motor mount towers off my crossmember. The method I have chosen will require some more fabrication for the mounting, but less fabrication (or money - you can buy high mount brackets for alternator/ A/C compressor) for the accessories.
