Datsun 260Z S30 LS Test Fit With Dirty Dingo Engine Mounts

[@LooseFab]

in the process of doing this over on my channel as well. this is some great info dude, thank you!

[@BlackwaterDSM]

I know I might be kicking a dead horse here… but I’m currently about to drop an LS6 into my 240Z, and I’m wondering if my oil pan will clear? 😒 Same motor from a Corvette/CTS-V, and I’ll be running the T56 that came with it.

[@LifeFlatout]

C5 corvette pan is best option. Not the bat wing style though.

[@BlackwaterDSM]

@@LifeFlatoutAwesomesauce, thank you so much for the response! I believe the stock LS6 pan is the same between C5/C6 Vettes (same basic block too). Dirty Dingo sent me plain steel mounts instead of the powdercoated, so they are swapping them out, then I can test fit. 🤞🏻 That the pan clears it all. I was gonna do the Apex Track Attack front kit, but heard lots of negative things about it, so I’m going T3 instead.

[@LifeFlatout]

@BlackwaterDSM yup I would avoid that kit. Was suppose to do a heavy discounted deal and install that on my car and show it works and never happed after asking months and months to get it coming. I kinda see why now.

[@BlackwaterDSM]

@@LifeFlatoutThere’s numerous videos of people having nothing but problems. Especially for the price… $10k for front and rear kit. No thanks!

[@LifeFlatout]

@@BlackwaterDSM price tag is very reasonable if it worked but unfortunately it doesn’t so yes very expensive paper weight

[@damnitdang]

Did you find out from dingo why the engine mount was spread to fsr apart that it squeezes when you torque it in?

[@LifeFlatout]

No just lived with it

[@damnitdang]

@@LifeFlatout did you redo it an used washers? Was both side squished?

[@LifeFlatout]

No just ran it

[@tommyhudson9858]

The best pan to use is the C6 corvette pan.

[@LifeFlatout]

Good call. go check out my other videos to see what I used 😉

[@damnitdang]

Which pan did you end up getting?

[@zachbentel4669]

Gave me the idea to do this build in my 74 260z got ahold of a Tr6060 for $550 and engine for 1200

[@phillypoo05]

Just tried to put a 5.3 ls into my 71 240z and it was hitting the steering rack. I had a ls3 oil pan and dirty dingo mounts. Any idea why the oil pan was hitting the steering rack?

[@LifeFlatout]

I’m not sure I’m using a c6 corvette pan in mine with same mounts no issue.

[@shanebarrett6860]

What state you in? Also have 260z ls, building lq4

[@damesixtyate]

What is the part number for those motor mounts?

[@LifeFlatout]

Dame Troupe not sure of the part number but if you go on dirty dingos website they are listed under 240z LS swap mounts.
