Hi guys, im just after advice as to what i will need to fit a CA18DET motor into a 1200 ute. I have the s13 crossmember with the motor but i would like to know if it will work in the ute or will i need a modified crossmember and engine mounts.......Then if i do, then do know where i can get some??
Thanks for having a read guys

for bolt in stuff contact MadDat motorsports
They stock a huge range of bolt in stuff for the 1200 ute.

Some will say they are pricey, but considering that all the engineering has been done for you, and they come as a bolt in operation and look the part, i reckon they arnt far off the mark.http://www.maddat.com.au/

Oh sweet mate, i had a look and its exactly what i need. An nahh not pricey at all when its all i need to bolt the motor up. Thanks for ya help reuby

just remember if you use maddats x-member i sure you have to change tranny tunnel to a bigger one, just ask them the right questions

And they sit the engine kinda high from what i've seen. Not that hard to make the mounts, mine was just 6 bits of flat plate. Make the bit that bolts to the engine mount, sit the engine where you want, tack it in, make the rest to suit

yeah i made my own mounts, used 4mm plate

4mm- if only stock a series were even 2mm lol

think i used 5mm...coz mine needs to handle heaps of power

i used 5mm plate too ..... have a look at my build thread "DEMAC's 1200 UTE"

two pieces of angle 75x75 150long and drill a hole in them float the motor over standard 1200 xmember and tack u can still use standard mounts or get/make new ones it takes about 2 hours to do and way easier then any others i have seen.

just remember the to put the angle so it adds a brace to the xmember plus with a good welder you will have no problems
