I know there are a lot of great fabricators here on Honda-Tech so that's why I am posting here.

Has anyone done an RB25DET into a 1973 240 swap? Basically need help with mounts.

Everyone loves threads with pictures







Going to be a single turbo GT40R or GT42R with a a standalone. Going togo help with some chassis work and mockup today.

 

wow fun fun fun.


Take lots of pictures and good luck with it.

But as for mounts, the way my mounts were made for a 3tc in a 1986 corolla was made, was everything was put in, and because we used the stock transmission with a slightly modified bellhousing, we boled the tranny in first. then we used a jack to slign where we wanted the motor to sit. Made sure the hood closed and cleared, then started designing, welding, testing, remaking, and came up with mounts that mounted in the stock brackets; it was easy for me because the mouting spots on the motor i wanted to put in was not very far off where the old motor mounts went. Have fun fabbin.

 

alpha there is one of those up here, it is orange and is fully built, and has a t3t4R on it, we are gonna do a couple pulls

 

My coworker is doing one. He's been working on it forever, but the mounts have been done for a while. He may have made a jig. I'll ask him.

good luck with yours....more pics please..

 

you're doing it all wrong. you need to get the skyline crossmember and weld/bolt that into that car.

 

I've seen a few of those type of cars on my Option's magazines with the that motor swap.. I've always been interested to do one.. but no funds.. anyways, good luck on this great project.
