I figure its about time to start a build thread on this car. It's a '90 240 DL sedan. Originally the car was a 2.3 I4 5 speed that I turbo'd. I was running ~14lbs of boost through it and making probably in the neighborhood of 200whp. The engine and trans had high mileage, and I was at about the maximum that setup could handle. Instead of building the engine and doing a T5 swap, I decided to do a l36/4l60e swap as I had a '97 Camaro donor car.
Taking the b230 out and fitting the l36
Modding the crossmember for oil pan clearance
Fabbing engine mounts. Bushings used are spare poly torque rod bushings for a 240. Was able to use slightly modified Camaro engine brackets.
Stock 240 trans crossmember modded slightly to accept the 4l60e.
Engine supported entirely by engine and trans crossmember.
Fabbing the turbo manifolds. Used the flanges and runners from two rear w-body manifolds. Re-clocked the runners on the flange and fab'd "collector" pipes.
