94 nissan 240sx being rebuilt with a 350 gm motor and manual trany. I need suggestions on how to fit the trany in and what all i need to do to the firewall for motor to fit. Any suggestions on suspension, rearend and maybe cams and pistons that would put up with a beating would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like a fun car when its done! you'll need to make sure you have firewall clearance for the distributor before you locate the point at which the motor mounts will be positioned. There is also the issue of clutch linkage clearance/shifter location. Be sure to measure-measure-measure, cut n fit crossmember. Cardboard and masking tape works good to mocking up, and make sure the metal on the welding bench will fit in the car!
Look up "Advance Adapters" they have swap kits for the cars, just bolt them in. I used there kit for a '73 land cruiser FJ-40, kit cam with motor mounts, bell housing for stock tranny and other misc. stuff. O.E.M. Drive shafts still worked. Really good quality parts.
