Default brand spanking new

Hi guys,

I am a 350z owner, looking for info to do a LS1 or LS2 swap into my car.

I need contacts for Philadelphia, Jersey area shops that do stuff like this. all leads are appreciated.

small backround:

the car club I hang with is controlled insanity. I am not a member, but a visitor (www.controlledinsanity.net) who are mostly LS1 powered vehicles. corvettes, T/a, Camaro, GTo, etc. we also have a VR4, 2 350's, subaru, some trucks, etc. I do not discriminate.

I have lightly modded my car now I have intake, plenum spacer, headers and test pipes. prokit springs (1 inch drop) short antenna, HID and that is it. after I put on the test pipes headers I am dissapointed in the sound, as I really like the LS1 rumble. so what to do? swap that bitch, thats what.

biggest hurdle I see: Wiring. and possibly shifter placement.

thanks!
tom.

WELCOME! If you can do it cleanly, that will be one sick conversion. You will shock/suprise a lot with the sound/instant torque of that monster. I'm suprised my brother (Marc) did not mention that someone in his club was considering this conversion. It's funny how all of you bust on him for not ing all MKIVs (I'm the same way, but I got a kick out of the razzing).

You mean "older guy with one of the fastest pure stock, auto, C6 (yellow) Vettes in the country", right? Yup, that's him. His '00 A4 Z28 is no slouch either!

Wow. I've seen an increasing number of 240's with LSX swaps, but the 350? Crazy man! Good luck! I'm sure it'll be sick.
