Default My Next project YOU decide!!!

My Next project YOU decide!!!

You guys decide, what path I take, with my next project!!

I have started this EXACT thread on 4 internet forums!!
I will add up the poll results across all 4 forums and do whatever the poll's say to.


only 1 thing is set in stone, the motor is a GM V8 Iron 6.0 block, LS3 heads should be very close to 600HP all motor and aprox. 800HP on nitrous. The motor will be mated to a Nissan 5 speed through a mid plate.


My mass internet poll revolves around what platform to swap the engine into.


Option #1
Nissan pickup body, full roll cage, Ford 8.8 rear, modified truck front suspension, coil overs on all 4 corners & 4-link rear

Option #2
Nissan pickup body, full roll cage, custom frame rails Nissan Z32 300ZX IRS rear end, Modified Z32 300ZX front suspension, coil overs on all for corners,

Option #3
Nissan Z32 300ZX, gutted interior, full cage, iron V8 up front, large cowl hood to clear carb

Option #4
Nissan pickup body, full roll cage, back half with Nissan Z32 300ZX IRS rear end, Modified Nissan pickup front suspension, coil overs on all for corners,


all the options have pros & cons as far as cost, labor and the final product.

I'll give the polls about a week and then follow through with what ever the forums want to see.


P.S. this vehical is being built as a jack of all trades, I don't want a 1/4 mile monster, I want somthing I can throw around a road course AND get a decent 1/4 mile out of.

It really comes down to what you want or trying to do as a personal goal. What if the poll said one of the option and down the road, your not happy with it..! be it on us to make you un-happy !

Question, why keep the Nissian Trans ? why not use a build or viper T56 ?

How about you give more details and goals for your personal reason ?...

#1 The nissan trans is very strong, although not T56 strong, but still very strong. #2 a T56 won't fit inside either trans tunnel and would require MASSIVE floor reconstruction. #3 I already have a fresh built nissan trans out of the 300ZX in question. #4 if I use the nissan trans in the 300ZX the LSx fits with no unibody mods. the cost of a T56 and the labor involved in fitting the T56 into the Z-car takes the 6 speed 300ZX out of the game.

In fact I have all of the major parts on hand to follow through with whichever direction the poll points me.
