Before cutting floor and frame rail meeting

Hi, everyone i just wanted to run this through all of you before i started cutting for my sub frame connectors and maybe front frame rails also.

 

***I've been on the forums for days and hours doing research on thickness and size, and other frame rail design done by others****

 

I'm going to try to be as detail as possible for my goals for this car i hope i don't miss anything.

 

73 240z

-stock l24 for the moment until i can afford a swap either 2jz or sr20

-Daily driver/ weekend cruiser/ and some racing here and there just for fun (i want to keep up with the new gen. cars s2k,evo,sti,m3 etc.)

- front and rear strut brace

-I have a r200 from a q45 but not installed yet new cv and axles anyone selling any?

-summit fuel cell

-16 sportmax 002 gold

 

Heres what i want to run through with everyone before cutting starts.

-wall thickness and size i already have some 2x3 .120 laying around, but i read that is way over kill for the sub frame connectors.

So im thinking 2x3 .082? or 1x3 .083? Also i be putting them between the floor plan, meaning not above or below the floor right in the middle.

 

One question i have is my front frame rails are in good shape, if i do put on the sub frame connectors will i have to put in new front frame rails also? Because if for some reason i do decide to go a little crazy with the motor that would be the weak point of the car correct and the twisting will happen there?

 

Also and for those who have gone through with this, i would appreciate if you would shine some light on me on some thing to look out for or just some tips you learn during your project.

 

Thank you ahead of time

Le
