The Dirty Dingo swap kit is to put an LS motor in the Z31 and not for an older gen 350. As far as I know, no one makes a swap kit to put a 350 in the Z31.

You could just buy the kit from Dirty DIngo.. http://dirtydingo.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1_354_350&products_id=1471

Slowly more progress. Not much left to do, just taking my time and enjoying the build. I will let the pics do the talking.

It sure does! Whoops.

Nice pick up. Looks just like a Grant wheel I had on my truck. The BMW may have just used a MOMO adapter. Regardless looks great. You just need a matching wood shift knob now.

PM sent!

Like the title says, I am in need of a fuel injection wire harness for my 1978 280Z. All my injector clips are cracked and have no hold down clips and all my wires are brittle. Have paypal ready to go! Thanks.

After just having my '78 280Z doors apart, the first link looks just like my locks. The second set might work if you still have your oem locks as you should need the double bend part that connects the lock itself to the mechanism inside the door.

From what I read...yes I did. JohnC says no to the 240Z assemblies in my 280Z and turboHLS30 says yes. From my understanding, that is two different answers. Thanks for the reminder on using the 280Z top hats.

I understand your point and the only reason I would swap the whole suspension is due to the fact that the 240Z parts are newer and better aftermarket parts than what I currently have. Once parts are in hand I will post up my results of what I end up doing. Thanks again!

So I got 2 different answers! If the complete suspension will work like turboHLS30 says than that is the route I would prefer to take as that way everything is matched. Looks like I will just have to get the parts and play around with them to see which option works the best for me. Thanks for the fast replies!

I have a '78 280Z and a friend has his complete suspension with eibach springs from his 240Z. My question is, will the 240Z parts work in my 280Z. I understand that it can be common to run cut 280Z springs in the 240z's. I also understand that the strut tube housings are different diameters, and that the strut top on my 280Z is longer than the 240Z. I also understand that the spring rates are different. I am not looking to race/track the car anytime soon. I am just looking to lower the car a bit until my Z31 V8 swap project is finished. I figure my options if possible are the following. 1. Bolt the 240Z strut/spring assembly into my 280Z. 2. Just use the Eibach springs in my 280Z 3. Not use any of the 240Z parts and just buy some new lowering springs. Any and all help and advice is greatly appreciated. I have searched this and other forums as well as google for an answer and only come up with 280Z springs will work in the 240Z. Nothing that states the opposite. Thanks! Here is a pic of my S30 in desperate need of more low.

Just picked this up to add to the collection! I am currently swapping a SBC in my Z31 and wanted another Z for a daily driver. So here is my 78 280Z. She needs some body work love but mechanically is solid.

Russ, can you post some pictures up!

Are we not a forum called HybridZ?
