83zx mounts

I have an 81 zx and was in just your position two weeks ago, and here's what i did... i have the power non rack n pinion steering, so it may differ from your situation. i don't have pics, but this description may help. On the drivers side, i just put 3" of aluminum plate between the block and the motor mount (from a 69 chevy truck) and used longer bolts. Frame hole lined up perfectly. On passenger side, same thing only used 2.5" of spacer. This left my carb very close to the hood (there is also a 1" spacer under carb to adapt my squarebore carb to my spreadbore manifold). For the exhaust, i had clearance problems with my steering gearbox, so instead of headers i used stock manifolds. The drivers side is a rear exit type manifold from a chevy truck, the passenger side is a center dump ram's horn manifold from a 69 caprice. I hope this helps...

For ZX's with the steering box, look into a manifold from a mid 70's Camaro PN 364747. It has a dip in the side profile and clears the box with just a 1/2" spacer on the driver side engine mount. The passenger side does not require a spacer. This leaves pleanty of room for a carb (or TBI) and a 3" high drop base air cleaner. Look here for a pix.
