Unlike the Z and the Rx7, the SX has the steering column right under the strut tower (few inches BEHIND the front axle line). This might cause a fitment problem. Does anyone have picture of the LS1 F-body from the underneath?

 

I will need a lot of information before making up my mind that this is the swap to do. Where else will I be able to find this information?

that 240sx v8 swap is a pretty cool idea i think, its got a tough rear, looks cool, and its rwd! whats not to like. i think you should do it, im trying to get my buddy out here to do it, but he is a scardy cat....

do it. tire spin is something we all have to live with, just learn to like it

The LT1 fits with no problem. The steering column is literally 2 inghes from the headers.

 

On an LS1, the block is 1.37 inches wider, and will pose a large problem to you. To put the LS1 in, you will most likely have to relocate/reroute your steering column by about 1-1.5 inches.
