Dirty Dingo Datsun Z and Nissan 280ZX LS Swap Mount Kit

This complete bolt-in engine mount kit is designed to install a GM Gen III or Gen IV LS engine into the following non-turbo vehicles:

  • 1970–1973 Datsun 240Z
  • 1974 Datsun 260Z
  • 1975–1978 Datsun 280Z
  • 1979–1983 Datsun/Nissan 280ZX

The mounts fit the factory front crossmember and use the original engine mounting pads.

Each mount is precision CNC laser-cut from strong 1/4-inch 1050 high-carbon, cold-rolled steel. The slotted design allows the engine position to be adjusted for better fitment inside the engine bay.

The engine can be moved up to 2 1/2 inches forward or 1/2 inch rearward from the original bellhousing position. Once the hardware is properly tightened, the mounts hold the engine securely, even in high-horsepower applications.

Each mount is formed on a CNC press brake using a large-radius die. This helps reduce stress at the bends and adds strength.

The mounts work with factory-style rubber clamshell mounts and support many manual and automatic transmissions, including:

  • Powerglide, TH350, TH400, TH700R4, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L80E

Grade 8 zinc-coated hardware and new cross bolts are included.

Important Fitment Information

  • Mounts are sold as raw, unpainted steel.
  • Black textured powder coating is available.
  • An aftermarket oil pan may be required.
  • These mounts will not fit Dart aftermarket engine blocks.
  • Designed for non-turbo models only.
  • Sold as a driver-side and passenger-side pair.
  • The “D” mount installs on the driver side.
  • The “P” mount installs on the passenger side.
  • The arrows must point toward the front of the vehicle.
  • These mounts will clear a low-mounted A/C compressor with LS truck accessory spacing. However, the engine must be placed 2 1/2 inches forward because the mount contacts the A/C compressor bracket.
  • These mounts will not work with low-mounted Corvette, Camaro, or GTO A/C compressors.
  • A 1998–2002 Camaro low-mounted alternator may fit, but engine adjustment will be limited.

ALUMINUM: Most of the aluminum alloys used today contain some level of lead, usually less than .1%. Lead is known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Most aluminum alloys are physiologically inert in their solid form, and the lead is contained within, however user-generated dust and/or fumes may pose a hazard if inhaled or ingested. Heating beyond a certain temperature may also provide avenues for exposure.

STEEL (steel bolts): Steel is an iron alloy with several metals including Nickel and Chromium. Both Nickel and Chromium are known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, respectfully. This warning applies to stainless steels as well.
