About seven months ago I started swapping an LS1 and TH400 into my 04 Nissan 350z and it has finally been completed! All custom parts such as mounts, intake, exhaust and headers were fabricated by myself.

Let me know what you guys think!


Parts Breakdown:
1) 2001 5.7L LS1
2) TCI Built TH400 w/Valve Body
3) TCI Torque Converter w/3600 rpm Stall
4) TCI Flexplate
5) Driveshaft Shop Custom Driveshaft
6) B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter
7) Electromotive TEC GT Standalone ECM
8) Electromotive Standalone Direct Fire Ignition Units
9) Derale Transmission Cooler
10) Howe Custom Double Pass Radiator
11) Summit Racing Crank Dampner
12) Moroso Coolant Expansion Tank
13) Canton Modified Oil Pan
14) Jantzer Performance Throttle Body
15) FAST fuel rails
16) Speedhut Tachometer
17) 350z Factory Alternator/Power Steering Pump/Sensors
18) Summit X-Pipe
19) Moroso Spiral Flow Mufflers
20) Custom Headers
21) Magnecor Ignition Wires

As of right now I am not doing any internal to the motor. Over winter I am looking to do a cam and an intake manifold. Now on to pictures!

Love the duel inlet system. Did you incorporate a MAF sensor into that?
Passenger low mount alternator is also very cool.
Clean install. Gives a whole new meaning to "350"Z

It is actually the new 570z...

I am using a MAP sensor instead of a MAF. Work very well so far.

The alternator and power steering pump are actually factory 350z components and they fit very nicely!

so tell me, does it look like there would be enough room for a 4l60e/4l80E?

if not, would a nice big *** hammer make enough clearance or would cutting be a must?

Z33Art

The TH400 fit with plenty of clearance. Don't know how it compares to a 4l60E though.

Anyone have suggestions for a good cam? Looking to upgrade springs and maybe push rods. Going to leave the heads and valves stock for now.

is that intake setup custom?

Z33Art

iTrader: (5)

Yes. I fabricated the Y-Pipe myself.

I had a 228R and it was a really great daily driving cam with lots of useable power.

Outstanding! Welcome to the club.

Have you ever seen a TH400 and 4l60e side by side? The TH400 is a lot bigger.

Think of it this way:
TH400 = 4L80
TH350 = 4L60

they really are just updated versions, and roughly the same size.

Z33ART,

would the TH-400 tranny be good for going through any twisties or is it more of a drag only type tranny?

Me and Snyper have been researching auto options for the Z but since I dont have a car yet I cant really get up under there and measure clearances..

Z33Art

iTrader: (5)

I would say no. There is a lot of people who race them up Pikes Peak which is a lot of turns. However, they are drifting around turns and most of the guys are pro-stock.

More of a drag transmission.

If you don't mind me asking what did the whole swap cost you?

Z33Art

About $12,000 total. That includes the motor, trans, standalone, all parts, metal and things like cutting wheels and welding wire to actually bring it all together.

Sweet build!!!
