Cable Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Wrong forum because JTR only makes Gen I/II SBC mounts and no they wouldn't work anyway, completely different car. Edited May 6, 2010 by Cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators BRAAP Posted May 6, 2010 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yeup, the JTR mounts will fit the Z32 and a traditional small block Chevy, but only after you cut a big section out of the hood, a huge section out of the firewall, and probably have to redesign the JTR mounts set the appropriately above the rack and pinion. Then again you'd be better off building your own mounts because the Z-32 engine bay/trans tunnel design is not even close to the early Z car that the JTR mounts are built for. The only thing that carries over from the early Z to the Z32 is the letter Z on the emblems. At that, to get a domestic V8 under the hood of a Z-32 you are still looking at cutting the firewall. There have been a few guys that have been making claims they can the V-8 to fit without cutting the firewall, started build threads, etc, but that has been over a couple years now, no one has done it, or at least posted their proof of doing it without cutting the firewall. If you want to see how tight it is with the LSx in the engine bay of Z-32, read this thread; http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/73951-lsx-powered-z-32-go/ Hope that helps, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
