  1. i've been pondering the thought of trying to mate the original vg 5speed with the 350. have you guys seen an adapter anywhere to do that?
  2. the ECU is working properly now because the entire wiring harness is getting the appropriate amount of power generated thoroughly through it for everything to work efficientally. always check your battery cables, fuses, and grounds when trouble shooting an electical problem first. 9 times out of 10 it will be one of those three things and you can save yourself alot of headaches. get a test light and a multimeter on the cheap and learn to use/love them because they can save you alot of money and time.
  3. yes, for the most part the SBC327 is a great engine and they produced reasonably good power.
  4. yeah, i was going to buy rear end out of a turbo car from Z1 motorsports so it's good to hear that they hold up.i'm still a little lost though on the whole drive shaft thing. Are you guys getting made to custom length at the machine shop or what?
  5. what's up guys? i've been trolling these boards for a few months so i finally decided to post something. i am the proud owner of a 1992 Z32. I bought it from a co-worker for $800 because it was his parts car for his 92z. the only thing he ever took out of it was some electrical stuff and other mostly minor stuff. The original engine is blow up in it but the 5 speed is still good(which i'll probably just sell back to him) and the interior and body are both straight except for the front right fender. It only has 140,000 miles on it too. So, i lucked up on the perfect car for a 350SBC swap. i started the body work today because i'm going to paint it before start building the motor. i'm an auto-tech and work for a privately owned shop and have access to the shop on the weekends(which will be mainly when the work will be done). anyways, you guys do a great job on here and i'm really looking forward to swapping ideas back and forth with you guys and reading the ridiculously (already) useful information that you guys have. here's what i'm starting with:
  6. oh yeah, i'll be posting pics tomorrow of the car. I'v just started work on it so you guys can really see what i'm starting with.
  7. yeah, i totally agree. based off my loose estimate so far, i'm looking at spending around 2500-3000 just on the rebuild of the 350 including the machine work and possible a different set of heads.. i'm planning on using a t-5 transmission or a t56(if i'm lucky enough to find one that's reasonably priced) so my biggest questions are, what rear end do people generally use and do people just use the stock rear and have a use a chevrolet drive shaft that's cut to length with a nissan style yoke?
  8. i'm going to use a standard "built" carburated 350. i was thinking about making it a stroker but for the money it's not really worth it.i would go LT1 or LS1 but i'm really going for simplicity. i also think that i posted this on the wrong forum. hahha it probably should have been on the gen3 and gen 4 forums.
