Default Another 1976 Datsun 280 build
I bought a real nice Z car. So I bought an LS3 from Katech that made 580hp.
Also a 9" Ford from Johns Nine Inch. Axles from Moser. 15x12 Billet Specialties with 325x50x15 ET Street drag radials.
Just need to get the T56 from Liberty.
I'll post some pics.

Car was rust proofed new and oiled every year. I removed the running powertrain and exhaust with wrenches and ratchet. No torch or breaker bar needed.

Subed! Every single time I see an S-chassis swap it makes my heart skip a beat. Beautiful chassis and with the LS swaps they are a blast. In for more progress.
