mark Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I had the JCI kit and all was installed and looked good. Motor ran and I was gettting close but the JCI kit was not going to work with the dry sump system I have. So this weekend I tore it all out and started over. I'll use some biscuit type mounts from street and performancce to finish it all off. This is the cross member. It will be bolted down after the final position (front to back) of the engine is determined. Yes, I will redo the brake lines. Here are the engine mount plates. Borrowed my brother in law's plasma cutter for these. Finally, on the engine drivers side and almost finished passengers mount. Still need to clean them up and paint. I'm using JTR headers and this all fits even with the dry sump and WRX rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecp48 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Mark, I like those mounts, much easier than trying to buy the Corvette mounts used. Are you going to post the dimensions? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maichor Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Looking good. You will like having the liberty to move things around. I changed mine about 3 times before I got the exact position I wanted for the motor. I am running PS as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Those mounts are nice. I think you're a closet engineer/fabricator. Did the body shop get finished with the body? Power steering???????? jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'll post a drawing later, I tried Emachine.com but they were going to be almost 200 bucks so I did them and I still ahve the drawing I did on emachine. John, the body work is done and I'm running a wrx rack. It is a power rack. Thanks for the compliments guys. Any suggestions on these would be appreciated.

Cruez Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 What format is it? I can convert quite a few design files. .dxf .dwg .dgn I think there a few more non standard ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWDEDZ Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 What body styleyear Z are theses specific mounts for??? I am trying to get some for my 92 NA Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I believe they are for Mark's Early 70s Zcar... Mark, You sure you're a dentist? I believe Jesse James is having try-outs for a new fabricator in his shop. Looks good, and I'll absolutely want to copy this AND your dry sump setup at some point.

ecp48 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Mark, Is the LS1 going into the Red 240 that you had on the rotisserie fixing the front rail? ecp48/Ed Palmer Athens, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yes, the red Z. CruZ I'm not sure of the format. It is what ever Emachineshop.com uses. Let me know if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Adam Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Mark, some people might be curious about the WRX power steering rack conversion. Maybe a little write up with pics when you have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
