Sikky Manufacturing LS Engine Swap Components Now Available at Summit Racing

For years, drift enthusiasts have known there is no better horsepower bang for the buck than stuffing a GM LS engine under the hood of their Nissan, BMW, or other rear-wheel drive import hot rods. Sikky Manufacturing got in on the ground floor with components designed to make an LS swap as painless as possible.

Summit Racing carries a good selection of Sikky Manufacturing LS swap parts including these:

Motor Mounts
Sikky Manufacturing motor mounts are computer-designed to properly place the engine in the car and assure correct driveshaft alignment when used with Sikky’s engine mount bushings, oil pan, and transmission crossmember. The mounts are CNC-machined from solid hunks of 6061 T-6 aluminum and come with high-grade mounting hardware.
Current Applications
• 1989-98 Nissan 240SX
• 1992-99 BMW E36

Oil Pans
These fully welded aluminum oil pans feature a CNC-machined, 1/2 inch thick 6061 billet flange and back plate for structural rigidity on par with a GM factory pan. Most other swap pans are made from thin sheet steel and are nowhere near as strong or rigid. Other features include:
• Machined gasket surface to ensure no gasket leaks
• Back plate compatible with factory dust covers to keep debris out of the bellhousing
• High ground clearance design keeps the pan from hanging out the bottom of the car
• 1/2” NPT drain plug
• 1/8” NPT oil temperature bung
Current Applications
• Universal-fit front sump, 6.80 quarts less filter
• 1992-99 BMW E36 mid-sump with bottom remote oil filter adapter, 5 quarts less filter

Relocation Short Throw Shifters for T-56 Transmissions
These universal-fit shifters move the shift rod location rearward from the factory GM location, eliminating the need to modify a shifter to line it up with a vehicle’s transmission tunnel. They also reduce shift throws by 44 percent, according to Sikky. The shifters feature CNC-machined 6061 billet aluminum baseplates, CNC-machined stainless steel shift rods and linkage, and a boot on the bottom side of the front shift rod to eliminate leaks.
Current Applications
• T-56, 5.5” relocation
• T-56 Magnum, 4”, 7”, or 9”relocation

Pull-Back Hydraulic Handbrakes
These handbrakes have nothing to do with an LS swap, but you’re going to need one to play in the drifting big leagues. These Sikky Manufacturing pull-back hydraulic handbrakes have a rigid design for smooth, precise action. Features include:
• 9:1 ratio
• 16” long billet aluminum handle
• Knurled urethane pistol grip
• 4340 chromoly relocation rod
• Available in reverse-mount for custom/modified e-brake setups

Summit Racing also carries Sikky Manufacturing transmission mounts for T-56, T-56 Magnum, and 4L60E transmissions; clutch master cylinder conversions; driveshafts; headers; and other LS swap components.
