    What other GM transmission is comfirmed to fit in that tiny z31 trans tunnel besides the Powerglide?

    Here's a small list of people I know of that had done the LSX swap and what trans they used. Sorry if I had forgotten anyone but this is just off the top of my head.

    i r teh noobz TKO600
    Satan Powerglide
    hpmotorsports 4L60E
    Wire guy 4L80E
    Bigcavolo T56
    Myself RS5R30A (aka z32 transmission)

    Well I can't tell you exactly how the everybody else fit the other transmissions. (I just don't know) I would assume the one's that used manual transmissions only massaged the tunnel a little for the bell housing portion of the transmission. Then the one's who used the larger sized auto transmissions massaged the transmission tunnel a little more to fit the transmission. If I had more time and the other transmissions available I'd give them all a try. That way we as a community would have the answer's to how each fit. I hope that with time we'll see more and more LSX swapped Z31s.

    I have the first batch welded up and should be on the shelf this next week.
    ^(that's from the email) I have my fingers crossed that they're released very soon. I know there's alot of you guys waiting for them! We're on the home stretch! I'm really wanting a 2nd set!

    Glad to see another product to support alternate powerplants. Opens up another option with several candidates to be found in the junkyard.

    Thanks for helping to make it happen.

    Sorry if this is a question with an obvious answer but the reference information on most websites doesn't mention this, will these engine mounts work with all LS series engines?

    Nismo-Kid - Do you know if these mounts can be adapted to a D21- Hardbody Truck or WD21 - Pathfinder chassis? I see some possibilities here.

    Hey guys got great news! The mounts are now available! This joint effort was started 7/17/2014. After 7+months of hard work we've finally reached the finish line. With me living in San Antonio, TX and Dirty Dingo being located in Mesa, Arizona there was plenty of obstacles for us to overcome. The largest obstacle was Dirty Dingo didn't have possession of the vehicle. So needless to say there was plenty of shipping, pictures, long phone conversations, numerous let downs, and a few mis-communications too. But we have over come all these obstacles, and created something I personally believe is great for the Z31 community. I'm honored to have had the great pleasure to work with Dirty Dingo. Brent is a stand up guy. (Along with a Datsun enthusiast ). Without hesitation he took this project head on. And together we have produced a easily available bolt in LSX solution for the Z31. While keeping the costs down. When compared to other LSX mounting solutions it's easy to see Dirty Dingo offers more adjust-ability, and is vastly cheaper than a majority than other solutions on the market. I would like to thank all that have been patiently waiting. The wait is officially over! With all that said I would like to let you guys to know I am no way shape or form benefiting financially from the sale of these mounts. If you would like to purchase a set they are now available here at the link below.

    I believe he's a one man crew so normally he has 100 things going on at once. I'm sure he hadn't forgotten, but just in case give him a call or email. As far as ETA you sir have impeccable timing lol. They are now Available.

    I'm not 100% sure but I don't see why not. I'll give him a call tomorrow. That would be awesome!
