Clearance Motor Mount Kit for 1970-1978 Datsun 280Z
Swapping an LS or LT engine into a vintage Datsun 280Z demands precise engine positioning and the CLEARANCE 1970-1978 280Z Motor Mount Kit answers the need with a tailored bracket set that matches stock frame rails. By providing precise engine placement, this kit maintains original drivetrain geometry for crisp shifts and balanced handling. Brackets are laser cut and welded before a corrosion resistant finish seals them against road salt and track spray. Every mount ships with all hardware and installation instructions so you can secure your powerplant with minimal downtime.
Precision Cut and Welded Brackets for Frame Alignment
The motor mount brackets are laser cut from high strength steel and professionally welded to match the factory frame rails of the 1970 through 1978 280Z chassis. This meticulous fabrication ensures that the LS or LT engine sits in the optimal position for maintaining original drivetrain geometry. By holding the powerplant squarely in place, the design prevents torque induced shifts that can sap shift crispness and introduce uneven loading in coupling components. The precision fit also reduces installation time by eliminating the need for on-vehicle measurements and trial adjustments.
Engine Vibration Control with Bonded Rubber Inserts
Each mount assembly employs durable rubber isolators to dampen engine movement and filter out harsh oscillations. This approach translates into a smoother ride by reducing transmission of start-up shudders and throttle surge vibrations into the cabin. The damping effect relieves stress on brake and fuel lines as well as electrical wiring, mitigating the risk of fatigue or premature wear in critical systems. Drivers will appreciate a quieter interior and more dependable throttle response under load.
Corrosion Resistant Finish and Structural Integrity
After welding, every component receives a robust corrosion resistant treatment that protects against road salt, moisture and track spray. This finish extends the service life of the mounts and brackets by preventing rust and metal fatigue in high load areas. The combination of alloy steel and industrial grade coating ensures the kit retains rigidity under repeated torque cycles and elevated under-hood temperatures. Owners can count on consistent handling and power delivery through daily commutes and spirited driving sessions.
All in One Hardware Kit for Simplified Installation
The CLEARANCE kit arrives with engine mounts, frame brackets and a complete set of mounting bolts, fasteners and alignment shims. A step by step instruction guide walks the installer through each phase, eliminating guesswork and minimizing downtime. Consolidating all required parts into a single box means no last minute parts runs or compatibility headaches. Both novice enthusiasts and seasoned technicians gain confidence knowing the full kit supports a seamless swap in one straightforward procedure.
Engineered for precise placement and built to withstand daily driving demands with confidence.
