LT1 = LS1 in motor mounts?

Post by **wajouba** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 11:03 am

I might be putting an LT1 on my 240sx... do they have the same mount positions? so if i buy the ones honson offer the mount kit for the LS1 will it work the same..? thanks

Edit: and what other sites help in aiding a swap like LS1 on 240sx or LT1 on a 240sx...

by the way, does the 180sx and 240sx have the same chasis? im talking about the one that has the popping up front lights in comparasant with the newer ones...

sorry im such a newbie in this...

No they do not, they are similar to the Gen 1 small blocks. Can I ask why an LT-1. Do you allready have the engine?

You can get a complete LS1 no tranny for 1500. Now you can use almost any GM tranny. A t56 would be best if you want a manual. I would say 2300 you can get a LS1 with a T56. Check out LS1.com its a Forum but they have classified section. Thats where I got my LS6 from. Now you said a 200sx. Thats a FWD car right? So no V8 for you. Also try ebay for a complete engine tranny pull. Make sure its complete though Engine, ECU, harness, manifolds, flexplate or flywheel, and all the accessories.

You can get a decent 240sx S13 shell for a 1000 bucks. That where I started.

The LT-1's are ok engines. Not as much power as an LSX. The LSX is your best bet.

LS1s don't have distributors.

I'm guessing he doesn't live in the US (i.e. - a 200SX is an S13/S14 because it came stock w/ an SR20). If he does in fact have a US 200SX, you're correct.

I totally agree on the LSx being the best bet. Don't bother w/ the LT1.

sorry about the distributor thing... i ment the alternator... and even if i find an LS1 on ls1.com shipping all the way till Lebanon is a fotune... around 800$... (lebanon = middle east)

the 200sx is the european model not US... yes its the S13...

how much does a T56 retail alone... with all its stuff... and If the Engine that i boought was of an auto car do i need another ECU?

Around $1500 is a normal price for a T56, give or take a few hundred. You should be able to find one for around $1200 if you wait for a deal.

Alternators are easy to find. I picked up one form a junk yard for $50.

Shipping is a *****. Gotta pay to play.
