I may have a good deal lined up on a roller and was curious if there is anyone around SFV or LA that has done the swap into a early 70s Datsun 240z. I'm considering doing a 4.8/5.3 with a single turbo and a th350/400.

 

My friend Derek has an awesome one. H/C/I LS1/T56 its a badass car I wanna build one bad.. not sure of his SN on here. He comes out to Bobs frequently

 

I'd recommend it

 

I'm in the process of doing just that in my 74' 260z ! 4.8L with a 76mm turbo, 92mm tb, tbss manifold, 65lb FAST inj, 04' Z06 cam, 7.425 hardened pushrods, 241's w/799 springs, new rings & bearings, ls1 oil pan. The engine is for the most part done, I just need a flywheel. I still need a T56 tranny, workout diff & axles, finish wiring, and fuel lines(A1000 with -8AN feed and -6 return to 16 gal fuel cell).

 

I seen a guy with a wicked 240 in Valencia. Definitely a good platform to building a fast car.

 

i am trying to feel my way thru the same swap... having "fun" with wiring at home now..
Good luck & post pics

 

Yeah your car is badass Derek lol.

 

haha thanks Adam

 

waiting to here if u r stating on yet

 

I had found a roller, but it was sold before I could get to it. I'm still looking for a rust free car and saving up funds. I've found some cheap z's on ebay and craigslist but with the floors rotted out and quarters/rockers chewed up.

 

There's one I have been eye-balling across the street. On 4 flat tires, hasn't moved in at least 2 years. I wish I had the skill or nearby help to do a swap on it, looks like it would be a blast.

 

Ill come hang out for a weekend to help get it in. lol.

Seriooulsy Bry you have LS1tech at your fingertips, don't you know you can do anything if you read it on tech?

 

One of the guys who works at Team SCSS in san diego is doing one. They could probably help answer some questions

 

if you really plan to do one....pretty much alll the information one could need has been posted somewhere...just a matter of spending some time searching for it.... http://forums.hybridz.org/forum/74-g...8z-tech-board/

 

Here and there is where I get most of my info !
