Nice to have you around here in Lakeland. Do you work on the North or South side? I have a red Z28 here on the south side of town with either Z06 wheels or Convo Pros when I go to the track and I sometimes leave the convos on. We need to get all the people here together again.
but I still have a decent amount of work left on the 240z turbo LS series swap
as of right now I have been just collecting parts and mocking the engine up to make mounts, I'm still waiting for my s475 83mm turbo to get here so I can start the hotside piping.
also do any of you guys know where I can get a th400 for cheap, just one that I can rebuild and put a reverse manual valve body in for my build?
Thanks a lot guys and I do look forward to meeting some of you guys in the near future!

I have seen you around many times before. infact I used to be in that home depot almost daily at my last job. still in there occasionally. I use to have the black z32 that came out to the meet at best buy a couple of years ago. then had a white z31. now on to bigger things lol

I work at the north side home depot, and I'm pretty sure I have seen your car around before. My 86 300zx is is just my crappy DD and it just gets me from point A to point B
but I still have a decent amount of work left on the 240z turbo LS series swap

BLINGOLE- I really don't need anyone to build the tranny for me per say, cause I know how to do that, I really just am in need of the actual th350 or th400 so I can start making my motor mounts and tranny mounts, in turn allowing me to make my hotside!
Here is a little teaser!
this is not final placement of the motor or turbo. Engine needs to go down and farther back and the turbo needs to go down and farther forward! Yes I do want to take a trip to the moon!

nice, I love s30's. I was planning on an ls1/t56 swap in my z31 but the chance came up to buy my 68 c10 so I had to sell the z once I picked it up. always wanted to build and s30 though. good lines, big engine bay, light and balanced. so ls+turbo in one can only equal win

as long as its a later model 5.3(like 04up) it'll have the better rods and pistons. That would make plenty of power for you. Shoot I bet it would do 500 wheel forever and 600 for a little while

most likely then I will just swap over to 317 heads and go with LS1 forged pistons and rods, will bring the compression down some, but I can make up for it by adding a little more boost and tuning! this can easily be done also, all I have to do is sell a few things!
