corvette LT1 motor into a 89 nissan truck???????
Alright heres the deal , before I get myself in too deep I'm trying to find some info on putting an Lt1 motor into the 89 nissan hardbody truck w/ 5sp 2wd ex-cab. I've found a shell for a good deal, and also a Lt1 motor complete w/ ecu.

you can get that motor into anything you want. but summit racing sells a wiring harness that can run the motor with out the hassle of the wiring you have now. with this wiring harness you can put it on a jon boat if wanted. have fun and take pictures. we would like to see.

What about motor mounts? I know that there are lots of companies that make mounts for the 240sx 350 swap, and I know that the 89 hb has the ka24e in it. So I was thinking that I might be able to use the 240 swap mounts, is this correct?

I actually helped do a sbc swap in a frontier and we just fabbed up the motor/trans mounts ourselves. The wiring harness summit sells makes the swap a hell of alot more simple also. The biggest issue is the stock nissan rear holding up. For the frontier the owner had a ford 9" with a coil over 4 link in the rear.
