LS1240Z Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hello gentlemen, Hopefully I posted this in the right area. Its been for ever since I posted or been back on the forum. Got my self a clean freshly painted 71 240Z from the original owner that started a restoration and gave up. Car is already painted and ready for a motor. Got a ton of stuff with it. Completely restored dash, new door panels, new seats, ext. Color is Mexican Orange which is the actual name of the paint I was told. Not my ideal color but I plan to wrap it. I got 2 motor options. 2015 LT1 N/A or go with a 2014 LS9. I figured the LS9 is to much power for the car and don't want to get into tubbing it so planned to go with the LT1 set up. Does anyone know where I can get a set of motor mounts that will allow long tubes? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 No experience with that kit, but it looks like a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayverippah Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've got the CX Racing kit without the long tubes. I have Shorties with an LS3 and it's a tight fit. It does allow a lot of horizontal adjustment, but I had to do some frankensteining to my steering linkage just to get shorties to work... I honestly don't see how long tubes will work with it. (Notice how they only show pictures of the passenger side without the linkage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost bet that if I buy it, it wont fit with my luck and get really pissed off and out a bunch of money. I was hoping to find someone that ran that same set up to see the fitment.

LS1240Z Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/hokeperformance/ A friend referred me to his site but I went there and there is contact info. Sent a message on FB and no response. Would like to get his set up. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1240Z Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 He finally responded. He said he will have something something ready in December. Long time to wait but I will if I have to. Seems like he does clean work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 He does very clean work. He's also a member on this site. 240zhoke I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 His mounts are worth the wait. They provide the best clearance for turbo upgrades in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 ounce Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm doing Hoke's mounts with mine!...They just look right, more substantial considering what I plan on doing with my Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitsnaugle Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Anyone run this set up? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LSx-Engine-T56-Transmission-Mounts-Headers-For-Nissan-Datsun-240z-260z-280Z-/251846582524?hash=item3aa339e0fc:g:eaEAAOSwNSxU5UT7&vxp=mtr That is CX racings kit sold by someone else on EBay. I HIGHLY recommend Hoke Performance's setup. It works with both long tube makers: Hawks headers and CX Racing. Here it is on his site: http://hokeperformance.squarespace.com/store/s30-ls2-engine-mounting-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
