Shawn MacAnanny Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I had been searching for as many pictures of swaps as possible before i do mine. It will help me to get an idea of how i want to go about certain aspects of it. I have the JCI swap manual which had some pictures but not the specific ones i am looking for. Any pictures will do fine. I am specifically looking for engine mounts mounted in the car, on the block. I want to see the size of the engine in relation to the crossmember, the set back, the height etc. I also would like to see oil pan clearance pictures, steering rack clearance pictures. I would also like to see transmission tunnel pictures, crossmemmber pictures, exhaust pictures. Really any pictures i would greatly appreciate. You can email them to me at ShawnMacAnanny@earthlink.net or post them here for other members. Either works for me. Thank you guys!

ColtGT4g63 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 You can see ALL my swap pics here... Enjoy! http://home.tiora.net/davidc/?path=Datsun%2FV8%20Swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn MacAnanny Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Looking at the pictures, it looks like i can possibly weld my Carshop mounts to the frame rails on the Datsun rather than on the Kmember like all the adapter plates are doing? I plan on strengthing the chasis here and there once the engine is in but i think that the frame rails should be wrong enough to hold the torque of the engine.
