    as soon as the snow melts I'm bring it back to the land of the living. I'll post pics of my progress as soon as I make some. Ive got a few tricks in mind and a chevy 388 on the engine stand.

    the 5.3 will bolt up to the t56, it is the same block as the 6.0 that is in the vette. I just goot done doing the swap on my truck. if you look for the 5.3 that was out of the SSR or the suv's they have the alluminum heads and block. they are the easyest motors to work on Parts are cheap, and in a small z they will get good mpg.

    I put Eibach spring with tokico struts, st swaybars and poly bushings. my 79 has never handled better when I autocross but on the steet its pritty stiff. alot of it is the 14" wheels but Ive broken two front swaybar brackets. this year Ill have 17s and the 383 so Ill see if it rides better. if you go with the stiff springs invest in some nice cushy seats or be ready for the piledriver!

    if you try to press out your 20 year old bushings your going to have a very bad day. the easyest way to get them out is to use a small tourch to melt the rubber (very stinky toxic fumes so wear a mask) take a chisel and tap out the outer sleeve. you can even use a jigsaw with the right blade to cut through the sleeve to help loosen it up. takes about 15 minutes.

    I don't think they will work, unless your really short. the base of the seats comes fron the factory with mounting legs. they sit pritty high. I put a pair in a friends jeep last fall and they feel great. if your creative you might be able to get them to work. good luck

    are you positive its a 383, I took the 383 out of my friends chevelle after he wraped it around a tree. when the motor was in his chevy it was a rocket. in a lighter z this things gonna scream! if its a 383 you'll know. a local speed shop should be able to help you, good luck

    Im really thinkin about adding paddle shifter this summer, I saw it on pro touring web sight. the companys name is twist machine and it works with almost any computer controled trany. lucky for me I upgraded my trucks trany to a 4l80e, so I have a home for my old 4l60e. http://www.twistmachine.com/

    if the brush on stuff sits in the can on the shelf for to long it doesn't work as well. when I stripped my cycle tank I started with an old can of the mar-hyde and it didn't do much, then I bought a new can and it worked much better.

    dude you gotta quit doin this to me. every time I see the vid my mind starts thinkin all kinds of crazy things. I was just plannin on doing a conservative swap but if you keep it up I may just to do something drastic!! all kidding aside thats awsome. I was just planning on doing the propane/nitrous on my 383, but after seein your vids I dont think Im gonna be happy without the turbo.
  14. chucky
    that was freekin awsome!!!!! do ya have any details on the motor?
  15. chucky
    I used a torch to burn out the rubber, and a chisel to pound out the sleeve. its not that hard to do just alittle smelly.

    go to your local auto paint store and have them make you up some rattle cans of whatever color you want, they can stear you to adhesive promoters and add flex ajents to the paint. I just had 4 cans made for my truck and it cost $13 a can.

    Im going to use the 3.8, they make the adapter for the transfercase. but if I endup doing the front axle swap Im going to use a gm transfercase. I almost bought a JDM vg30 Im just sick of timingbelts and the cost of part on the vg, and don't ever get me started about sparkplug changers

    my path is a 91, I dont think the dual cam vg or the turbos will fit without major surgery, then it would be easier to drop in a 350 chevy. I think Im going to try a supercharged buick. I have a complete 231 from a regel and Im going to try to fit the supercharger and FI from a ssi. Its not a diesel but should have some moer power than the vg30.

    Im working on a second swap, but this is on my truck (pathfinder). Im looking to swap a diesel into my path. I do some offroad, and lots of towing. I tought of a 3.8 buick but I would rather have toe power of a diesel. there isnt enough room for a 350 with out major surgery. I just drove my bosses turbo diesel today (its awsome) does nissan make a diesel off of the vg30 block?

    vg30

    chucky posted a topic in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Is the vg30 a free spinning motor, or will a broken timing belt make it junk?

    I started to disasemble my zx this week, and I have a ton of undercoating to remove. what works the best? are there any solvents or strippers that work, or do I have to grind it off. I heard that you can use dry ice and chip it off.
  23. chucky
    how much does the kit cost?
  24. chucky
    I there a difference between a mercury grand markey motor, and a mustang motor? IM sure the cam is different, but is the FI. MY motor is from a 92 merc.

    I saw this car when I was a kid, I grew up at road america and watch Paul Newman race 280zx's the factory made the race version of this car with a "v8" and I think they where in the GTO class of IMSA. I was woundering if anyone had any info on the arizona z Imsa kit for the 280zx, I heard the molds where forsale?
