Nimbus_280Z Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 What's up everyone, I am going to be swapping a LS1 engine along with a tr6060 transmission into my 1975 280Z. This is my first time doing a full engine swap, so it should be a fun time (hopefully). I'll be posting progress pics as I go along with the project. My plan is to have the car running by this summer of 2023. It's currently April 26 soo no pressure lol. I hope this thread can be another resource to anyone doing a similar swap. I plan on being as thorough as I possibly can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Using a swap kit or just fabricating as you go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus_280Z Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 I'm going to be running dirty dingo swap kit. Do you happen to know if a t56 transmission mounting kit can be used on a tr6060 transmission? I have a tr6060 right now and I'm having trouble finding a swap kit for that.

Fridge Gnome Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The TR6060 uses a different tailhousing than the T56, so the mounting points will be different, but I'd imagine it would be fairly easy to adapt a T56 mount. brackets like this are available: https://animalsspeedshop.com/products/gm-tr6060-transmission-mount-conversion-bracket not sure if they actually match the T56 mount location, but should make it even easier.

zboi Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 False, TR6060 mount is in the same spot as the T56 (or at least super close). I used a CxRacing T56 transmission crossmember on a TR6060 no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
