Hey loy, Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I had written out an entire detailed message about where I am most likely giong to get it and all the other places I found in my search. But apperently I didn't send it or something sense its not here, so I'll see about writing another one when I get some time at home where I have all the info. Meanwhile, I'll just say that I am talking to the guys over at JDM-online.com about a NeoGen engine, tranny, and LSD.

Oh and where did you get all your custom fab stuff done or did you do most of it yourself? Joseph Kacvinsky

Hey chris, I frequent this site more often but I happened to see one of your threads on this on GRM and noticed you're from Baltimore, I'm originally from the Catonsville area and am now back in MD living in the Odenton area. Anyway, I'm getting ready to start a RB25-'77 Z swap and saw how clean and professional your friends engine bay was after you finished and was wondering if I could come by and bug you about it. I'm looking at picking up a NeoGen RB25 engine, tranny, and LSD and really want to find out what I'm getting myself into before I order the engine and find out I'm giong to need the whole front clip. Thanks Joseph Kacvinsky

wow, where were you getting those RB30s? Where they just the blocks or the whole engine?

So no one actually answered my question, what kind of weight would I be looking at with a force fed SBC set as far back as possible in a 280?

Well I don't claim to be an expert in fuel economy, but my old ford 302 was lucky to get 12mpg on the highway and I wasn't pushing out anywhere near 600 horses. And his combo seems to be much more streetable than mine ever was considering he drive the entire Power tour without any issues and still has the car today as a shop car. I just thought it was pretty cool and a feat of ingenuity to pull off a streetable 600hp sbc with better fuel milage than your average japanese compact.

Oh, and provided one went with all lightweight components (aluminium heads etc.) what would such a setup weigh in at? what kind of weight dist. would you be looking at in a '77 280Z?

Anyone and everyone that has gotten the Chevy High-performance Dec. issue should check out the Performance Q&A on pg16 titled Mighty Mouse. For those in the dark the artical is about a supercharged sbc chevy measuring in at 302c.i. putting out 600 horses on 91 pump gas and running a 25mpg average during the entire Hot Rod Power Tour (driven the whole time in a 65 chevelle with a richmond 6-speed and 3.55:1 rear end gears). How light and far back in the engine bay do you think someone could get a chevy sbc302c.i. with a Lengenfelter/ACCEL Super Ram induction box or better yet; a TPIS mini Ram fuel injection kit, with a Vortech supercharger slapped on? Jeff Smith, the guy that cooked up the idea and built a realiable, small cube, big power, great milage engine, is also talking about a supercharger upgrade to a Magnuson High-Helix 122-cid Eaton blower spitting out as much as 675 to 700 hp at 6500RPM with similar mpg numbers. I'll get the full artical on when I get a chance.
