neotech84 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 WOW looks great! DEMAND lots of pics! Also just a heads up you WILL have some mods on your back for spelling. I would run a grammar check BEFORE you post. Great idea and Welcome to HBZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) I don't think this has been done before. However, I'm looking forward to seeing yours completed. WOW looks great! DEMAND lots of pics! Also just a heads up you WILL have some mods on your back for spelling. I would run a grammar check BEFORE you post. Great idea and Welcome to HBZ! He's from Norway, so I don't think english is his first language. I didn't see any horrible errors either, so it's not a big deal. Mods mostly want you to at least make an effort, they don't expect everyone who posts here to have flawless grammar and spelling.

Nelsonian Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I am very interested in seeing this swap done, and believe you would be the first to achieve this. I just love the stats and sound of this older version of speed six in the tVR T350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarS30Z Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Wow I want that. Good luck, those are some beefy stats for an N/A straight 6. Looking forward to seeing how things go for you with the install and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 BTW, how much did you spend getting the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I looked at one once, breifly, IIRC, they're taller than the L series by a good bit, even dry sumped, and would need either a bonnet bump or a much more radical cant over in the bay than the L series is fitted to a Z with. I'm not sure how that would affect interferance with the steering shafts. The english wreckers were also asking 3000 quid or therabouts for a running ex-wreck motor at a period where the NZD was sitting around 30c to the pound, meaning almost 9000 NZD for the motor before shipping, and I was unemployed... So I never got one, I envy you" Lovely motors! they can really SCREAM at the high revs. Take LOTS of photos this should be an interesting build I want to see what a Z with one of those motors in looks and sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 By FAR my favorite I6. If I had the cash I'd be doing this swap too. Can't wait to see the progress on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 That had to be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAce Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 By FAR my favorite I6. If I had the cash I'd be doing this swap too. Can't wait to see the progress on this! You know it's the end times when Bob isn't drooling about a M104 anymore But that's an awesome motor, and I look forward to following the swap progress. Should make a mean little Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make a mean little Z Pfft. I've always liked this thing more than the '104. Except: I don't even know if it will fit. i really wanna see pics on this It's expensive. I'm pretty Broke. Finding parts for this motor in this country would be roughly impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
