Hey Blato. Your one is Engineered Ay ?

Hey, thats sweet, thats what i am after, just a little input, see im the oppisite, i would rather pay and save the head ackes and hours of up down and in and out, but i will have a look at me cross member, I got this idea from this site about the cross member being a Stanza in Tec section, like i said i only guessing what it is..Thanks PIGDOG..

be good to see pics first to see what it loks like

its pretty easy to mount an L series in without sump mods...you just sit it way high and use a bluebird or 200b sump(which ever is the smaller one)

it wont be any kind of standard crossmember, will most likely just have stock looking mounts welded onto a 1200 crossmember

the way ive done it, as a comparison, is to dump the engine down as far as it can possibly go before it hits the drag link, this required notching the crossmember about 15-20mm in the middle and making a very custom sump that was alot shallower at the bock for extra clearance to the drag link and crossmember. at full lock the drag link just clears the sump
then was low enough to fit th L20b with stock air box on it and a spacer under the carby so i could run cable accelorator not linkages like the 200b did. its a good 5-10mm of extra spacer that you wouldnt normally have
also modded 200b engine mounts, that bolt to the engine, so that the engine sits lower than it normally would. this was more to allow the mounts on the crossmember to be big enough to get your hand in to do up the bottom engine mount bolt


not to put your idea down or anything but in my experience the mounts were one of the easier things to do in the conversion

just to be clear....not putting your idea down just adding my thoughts/experience

Hi All, I have read a few Threads with people having dramas mounting L20's, now please pull me up if i am wrong but I am trying to help people with this conversion. My L20 is on a standard cross member and I am only guessing that it is a stanza as I have all stanza front end (I got car with this conversion all ready done ) now my sump hasent been cut, it does not rub on cross member (is very close) and i dont have any vibrations through tail shaft, I am pulling the L20 out with in the next week or so (cross member all ready sold with mounts) . What I was going to do if people are interested I am willing to get some of these mounts made, direct copy of the ones I am using, I have not priced these or anything and that is why I am going to ask all people interested either send me a PM or list in the forum that you are keen, I will get some pics of these tonight along with cross member and sump as all still in the car, people with input on the cross member please throw ya 10c's in please and give us all a hand... Cheers and Thanks
