Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted May 7, 2000 Share Posted May 7, 2000 I've seen numerous 280ZX V8 'how to' questions but no responses? I know there are some running around including mine. I just changed from a '68 327 to a '98 350 w/ edelbrock topend. I had my Lt1 pan modified to allow me to drop my motor an additional 1-1.5 inches down on my crossmember. This changes my motor mount configurations so I'm wondering how important it is for the chevy JTR type motor mount to have that upper lip sitting on the edge/lip of the crossmember? It buts up on it v. well and if I lower it my 1.5" I could just slot my crossmember but I'd have to cut off the metal 'nub' 90 degree on teh mount so it could slide down the crossmember, or make an offset plate...comments??? Also, what dimensions are 280ZX V8's running as far as 'stacked' spacer heights on their engine mounts on each side? As far as one compared to another? for ie. 2.5 Inches one side and 3 on the other? I had mine setup correctly a few years ago but last time my shims got mixed and I haven't had time to resort out the proper geometry for driveshaft etc so looking for others info as well to help w/ my own changes. Thanks... ------------------ Ross Corrigan '80 280ZX, just yanked the faithful '68 327 in favour of a '98 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom sixbey Posted May 25, 2000 Share Posted May 25, 2000 Hey Ross - i just sent you an email about ZX conversion today (sadly all i will be able to bring to the table are questions). I need motor mount and transmission mounting info. ------------------ Tom 6B (73NIC) "why slam on the brakes when you can slam on the gas?"
