Evan Purple240zt Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Guys I am SERIOUSLY considering the GN powerplant for my buddies project 240sx. The jap spec 2.0 is cool but ive never seen a gn motor in one. I need weights on the trans and motor, dimensions to see if it will fit and any other relavant information that will help me ensure that this will fit in the engine bay with the auto tranny behind it. Thanks guys - Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 I am on my way out the door but I can take engine measurements for you tomorrow. I will contact the Buick forums and get weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie-GNZ Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Here is what I came up with. The measurements I can vouch for since I did them myself. The weights are from info in response to a post on the Buick forum. Engine Height - 28.25. This is from the bottom of the pan to the top of the TB Width - 24.5. This from the outside edges of the headers Length - 23.25. This is from the back of the block to the front of the pulley. I did not use the published V-6 dimensions because I though those of a fully dressed turbo engine was more useful. The published weight of a Buick V-6 is 375#. Add another 50# for turbo, alt, etc and the weight is about the same as a L6. The tranny weighs 135# and the stock 12" converter is about 40#. BTW, aluminum heads cut 60# and a 9" converter cuts 15# HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
