Default LS2 Datsun 280Z!

Hi all,

My car is almost ready to start the LS2 swap.
Last weekend my brother and i pulled the inline 6 out.This saturday its going to the paint shop to get the engine bay painted.I think this swap should get started by the middle of november.I have most of the parts needed.
I will try to talk to the guy who is doing this swap,So he can take pictures of the process.He is a memeber here (MAS280).

Check out my cardomain page for more pictures.

That's cool. LS2 in a 280Z. Do you plan to keep the hood vents? No hood shown, but, most 280Z's had 'em.

Nice.. I am doing an LS1 into a 77 280Z also. I just finished cutting all the unused wirings from the stock C5 harness. Once I am done taping the harness back up I will be taking the motor out and work on the frame and paint the engine compartment. Hopefully it will be done this winter. I like the brake upgrades and will probably start ordering them soon too. Will emailing you in the near future.
