DuoWing Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ok, I'm not sure exactly where to post this. Maybe I missed it in my search. I was doing a local search and came across a Z that I want to look into. It's described that it's basically a rolling chassis, but the guy says that he had it running a small block Chevy and a 4-speed. Ad says he ended up pulling the motor/tranny for another car. So I figured before I even go check the car out I'd try and find out what is needed to mount the L-engine in the Z? I know nothing about the V8 swap mind you, so maybe that would have answered my questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think the question is: Did he modify the front crossmember or the trans mount in the tunnel? If not your L6 parts should still bolt in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 typically the trans mount is cut out for more room. However, if the transmission was a 4 speed manual then the mounts should be intact. (automatic need more room). However, not a big deal to make a new mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
