Guest ajm422 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm installing an LS2 in my '72 Fairlady next summer. I hope it comes out as cleanly as yours. Who knows, I may even ask for some pointers. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfreer85 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hey Ulises, I really like that transmission mount, is it a Mike (mas28O) one off or the John's Car Kit? Looking really good, there. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ulises, have you used that fan yet? I just got one in the mail, just wondering. Car looks sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Tranny mount is from John's Car Kit. I have not used this fan yet, But it was on Mike's LS1 240z, He says that is a very good fan for the ls swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyvette Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 impressive and clean /neat swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooversTurbo Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 impressive and clean /neat swap Thanks. Making it fit with acceptable ground clearance and a resonator w/ a 5" OD was the tough part. The rest is just routing the tubing and welding. Tig welding all of this took a lot of time. After it's all tacked together in the car, we have to tack each connection multiple times carefully out of the car so as not to loose any of the geometry due to the welding shifting the metal. Most people don't realize how time consuming this is compared to having a normal muffler shop Mig everything in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mas28O Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 You are lucky that you have the q45 diff in your car. Your car has about 11/2" more room for the exhaust with the q45 diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thafinefellioh Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm interested in doing a Ls1 swap in my 260z, I was curious if your motor mounts were purchased, or did you fabricate them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
