My 240sx / S14 LS1 Swap - Progress *56k beware*
As for parts, I've accumulated:
* sbc adapter plates and mounts;
* an rb20det x-member from a skyline r32
*gto oil pan to arrive.
As for headers I'm still looking around. Anyone got a set for me
I might've seen someone using covette c5 stainless steel headers, but I need to double check.As for notching the x-member, I'm going to have it notched before I get the motor in. That way I can save some time for the whole swap. If there's any advice / pointers you guys can give me, or some parts I might be able to use for the swap I'd greatly appreciate it 110%.
Here's some pix of my parts...

also let me know if you have any hood clearance problems. i wanna do the 97-98 front end on mine but it looks like the hood slopes down alittle more then the 95-96. or slopes down sooner. i hope their the same (difference shouldn't be much if any). i want the kouki front.

here for rb25det info and more
Chances are the rb20det x-member is much easier to find so I'd go that route.
rb20det x-member info here
Take a look at post #29 by ls1neezy. He recommends using the rb20det x-member vs the rb25det. Although I can't confirm fitament, I don't think you can go wrong using either since both engine mounting points are moved forward.

An view of how the x-member will sit vs. the sbc mounts on the engine.

Next step is to take it to get welded and boxed up. Btw what gauge steel are you guys using? I'm thinking the thicker the better.
