What are the exact measurements of the engine bay?
what is the length of the beginning of the bellhousing to the rear end?
whats the spline count on the driveshaft?
how long is a 5spd transmission, and is the shifter incorporated into the transmission and comes through the floorboard? if so, how far away is that hole from the back of the block?

 

it depends on the engine for where the block is in relation to the shifter.

there are plenty of junkyards out there, why don't you do a little homework and let us know the exact measurements!




the spline count doesn't matter on the drivesahft, a custom one can be made with any input yolk you need.

 

I have a feeling this 240 that he is thinking bout doin will have some sort of GM firebreathing monster in it. Like may be a LS1?

 

people catch on too quickly these days...i was actually thinking along the lines of the LS2 or maybe LS7 if i wait...cant wait to see what that 3 valve head is gunna do on a 6 litre...but for ease, i also considered a carbed setup, like a 383 with lots of spray..

 

Kenny if you are gonna make that type of investment why not put it in the bird? Why mess up a perfectly good nissan? Anyhow it sounds like your dreaming to me.

i dont think it would be a huge investment just quite timely, and only reason i consider it is because the bird weighs so much more. putting a V8 into an s13, or a 2nd gen RX7 would be great weight wise, it would get the weight down more then i ever could SAFELY gutting the car. and i could just be dreaming like ya said, with as much as i have going on lately, i have little free time.

 

I've always wanted to see an LS1 into an S13.

 

Hey if if you go to pait place on keene b 4 starkey auto, they have a lime green s13 waiting on a 350

 

joshjfm had a smallblock sitting in his. he fabbed up the xmember and everything. i think he scraped the project, so the subframe may be up for grabs
