I want to swap a chevy small block in a 240sx. has any1 on this forum done it? Or know of one for sale. I need some info before starting this project.
Thanks

 

I know that some people have put ls1,2's,and 7's in a 240, I would be pretty sure that it would have no problem fitting.

 

no one here that i know of has but i've seen it done.

it's just like any other engine swap that wasn't meant for the s chassis.

 

Agreed

 

^
why the rolling eyes.

 

so many choices and they want vegetable juice

 

i am in the process of doing the swap right now

and i am determined that it is going in there

even if i have to run the exhaust pipe through the car to clear the steering lol

it going in there

 

XD, that would be interesting to see. Hot exhaust pipe center console

 

Yeah there are a few done.
There are a fre LT1's
About 10-20's LS's that are done
and a few gen1 SBC's

before I did the LS6 I was going to use a small block 400

 

I finished my swap almost a year ago. What info do you need to know? I did the swap myself and swapped in a buddy's this past August so I have a good amount of knowledge. I also put togther a kit for the swap. Hit me up with questions whenever. Most people that complain about the swap not being a good choice for the sacred 240sx are ones that never rode in an LSX powered 240. Ride in one and you will convert! Trust me.

 

I'm enjoying mine!

 

go to hinsonsupercars.com, they offer swap parts for ls1 swaps into 240s and rx7's

 

I believe the "Ministry of Drift" was running a LS1 RX7 FC at VIR sadly it didn't drift too well, but it sounded like a beast.

 

not the greatest and i'm talking from experience.

 

I have seen some photos of the hinson kits with the T56 and the trans doesn't line up well at all. I didn't use a kit on mine, and there is another guy on LS1tech.com who made his kit, the T56 lines up perfect and his is plated and using a rear sump pan. The best one I have seen so far..... besides mine lol
