jeromio Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Does anyone have pictures of the underside of their 350 equipped car that they could share? I'd like to have something to compare with the pics of LoneStar1's car. Oh - and I have a question for anyone with a 75-78 Z: does the engine interfere with the A/C lines at the firewall? I have worries about this as I have an A/C system from a 77 280Z installed in my car (although not working - leaky lines ). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I have a lift if one of the V8 guys in Austin wants some shots of the bottom of his car they could send you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I will see what I can do to help you out. In the meantime would shots from above be helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 Well, I don't want anyone to have to go to any trouble or anything... I was sort of hoping that maybe someone already had some pictures of the underside of the engine and crossmember. There aren't any in the JTR manual. Which I think is an oversight, because that one that LoneStar1 has of his car really shows the placement of the engine. The pic of the engine with the setbacks installed on it in the book is pretty descriptive. It's just that I don't have the equivalent pic of an LS1. Since there are no drawings of the "LS1 mounting plates", I'm trying to get a feel for what's required. I have LoneStar1's description, which definately helps, but I want to avoid as much trial and error (insert engine, remove engine, repeat) as I can.

BLKMGK Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I have a "normal" 350 block in mine, pics from underneath on a rack I don't think I have right now. Pics from above I can takepost all day long If I get it on a rack anytime soon I'll see if I can snap some pics. I HOPE that it doesn't require rack time in the near future! Baby gets a new slave and a bath tomorrow night if all works out well. A trip to the shop for funsies on Friday possibly - if I can I'll try to get pics on a rack then but if they're busy I won't be able to.

jeromio Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 Cool. If I can compare the LS1 with the "normal" 350, I'm thinking it would help me. But maybe it won't - hard to know until I know . I keep having to go out to the garage (such as it is - my garage has no door and the "floor" is gravel) and gawk at my motor. It's all aluminummy.

BLKMGK Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Check my site and the exhaust pics that I linked to elsewhere here - there are pics from under my car. anything in particular you need a shot of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 Those pics of your exhaust were helpful. I'm looking for some shots directly below the engine. I guess I'm hoping to see the JTR setback plates and the cross-member. Since I've got an LS1 and the mounts are on a different part of the block, I'm gonna have some issues to work out.

PaulR Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Here are several pictures I took of the bottom of my Z when it was up on a rack. Thanks to Duane Bender of Motorworks Ltd. in Bellevue, WA for allowing our Z-Club members free access to his shop for a day (had to get that plug in) Bottom Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
