hybridz.org... I believe there is a guy over there with a turbo ls1 280zx... Any reason why you want to go with a s130 over an s30?

There is a LS1 turbo 280 local to me. I don't know the guy real well but I have looked at the car when it was at 417 Motorsports that did the conversion and it looks nice. You could probably PM 417 Motorsports here on tech and Blake could likely give you some info on the swap.

I've been researching this swap for over a year now. Try http://www.hybridz.org
they have everything you need. I have a 77 S30 pm if interested.
The swap is strait forward enough and fits like a glove. There is a great deal of support for motor mounts etc...

There was an ols 280 down the street from me at a car lot. I thought, how cool would that be with an ls1. It was really clean. It's sold now.
