I want the p-car under the z........ Good luck with helping out. Tony, I think you need to add to your collection. I mean you are already coming to Texas to pick up parts from me. Why not go coast to coast?

do you have a front splitter or pan ?

Do you have any other profile shots of the hood. Down position?

Looks like I will hit them up on Thurs night for dinner...

North side, near airport. 2 or 3 exits north of I-10 on 410

Centerforce=trash......IMO. i had a dual force clutch i toasted very quickly

Anyone have any good places to go after work? I am on the north side of town off of 410....

As usual.... the plan evolves. I have purchased a LS3 (L92) from a 09 Denali, a built t56 transmission, custom ground billet cam, and a maggie blower for the car. I am currently sourcing a full rearend to swap. My Turbo Tom motor was purchased from the guy who bought the kit from me. I also sold him a fully built turbo motor that had a bunch of special parts on it ( for next to nothing.) I should have asked for more money but he was in the right place at the right time. I have funds for the swap and have started to move forward on this project. I have had the factory seats refinished in leather and suede so those are going in when the car gets back from the shop. I do not have the time to put into this to keep the project going so I have had to farm out the project to a local shop that does good work. I have all new gauges going in the car as well. Since I sold all of my Stewart Warner gauges as well. I wanted to start with a clean slate and keep the car for many years. I just have suspension and brakes to work out ( which I am in the process of) and then I should be done with the mechanical aspect of the build. I will post up some pics of the progress once the car gets over to the shop. I am pulling the rest of the drivetrain out and will deliver them a shell to work with.

@mark. what kind of whp are you putting down?

Godspeed Ross.

Thanks for the video.... that put a smile on my face....so the "ole' cage talk" lol........ you really have me wondering if I am just plain stupid for putting a s/c on my ls3 conversion........what is done is done....

I have an extra set of vents somewhere in my garage. As well as a Datsun emblem. Let me know if you want to "borrow" them.

70S30 is what I currently have.... but that will change as soon as it is back on the road....

You drive more when you are trying to achieve a goal, and humiliate others along the way. I need videos please!!!! I have parts, just not in the car!!!!

LT1 T56....weak sauce for what I am going to be throwing at it!!! lol I picked up a built T56 locally for a good price........ Thanks for the info. It was me asking u questions on ls1tech, by the way.

The cam is a custom grind Billet unit. I will get the specs on the cam in a bit. I just dropped off the transmission off at the shop where all of my parts are currently at. Call me what you will but I know when I am in over my head. With this build, well I am. I can do the simple swap stuff but this full swap into my 1970 240Z I feel would be best done by the professionals. not a bro-fessional like my self in this arena. I will be updating my build thread as there is progress in the coming months Thank you for all of the responses and information.

I thought I got it for a steal. I don't want to have to pull the transmission any time soon so I might just go ahead and get rid of the clutch.......I am new to the LS world so it is good to hear that I have a decent set of parts in the pieces I am putting into the car. I had a budget but.... it has been blown....If I would not have bought the magnacharger I would not be so bad off......

I have been called worse. all jokes aside I did put a deposit on a built t56 this am. I will first have to get used to the car so I think that this transmission will last a while during the OGM what did I just build phase..... as I get out of that phase and into the OK let's see what it will do phase I will start to look at other options. I bought a built T56 with: LS7 clutch Tick Master Master Cylinder B&M ripper Shifter Steel 3/4 fork Carbon blocker rings on all forward gears Upgraded second gear Billet 3/4 syncro solid 1/2 keys Bronze fork pads 1-6 Modified reverse syncro All new needle bearings I will most likely have to upgrade the clutch but this is a good start for 1800.00

Still would be around 3-4000 after all is said in done..... it is only money right? I am about to score a t56 for around 1800.......

My pockets are not deep enough for a TKO6060

I am going to look at a T56 that was built by Late Model Racecraft. I keep going back to a T56. I have always believed a stick should be in a sports car. I will go to the track but not enough to justify not being able to play with a 6 speed....... I now need to sort the 8.8 conversion for the rearend....

@LanceVance Have you made any progress? I will be working on my aero attachments to the car as time progresses. How are you coming along with your install?

I am trying to get a feel for transmissions that guys have installed behind their LS motors. I am currently in the process of my swap I have the good stuff LS3, cam, and a Magnacharger. I am trying to plan out the rest of the build accordingly. The combo I have has been proven to put 577 rwhp. To me: Transmission is going to dictate what rearend I put in the car. Auto: I have a chance to get a built 4l60e from a GTO that was built with stall and internals. Manual: I have a chance to get a built T56 for a reasonable price. Rearend: I have been leaning towards the 8.8 set up as I think it offers the most in gearing and options. This car is a weekend car, toy. I would like to play on the track from time to time, and take it to work ( where ever that will be). I have ALWAYS had a stick in a sports car. I am being told that I can put the power down and still have fun in an auto. I am looking to see what others have done, and opinions.

I am looking for a T56 with bellhousing for a LS motor in GOOD condition. I have cash in hand.

Will.... stop posting on here and get to it!!!! SUNNY Z, well done! keeps me inspired. I am currently in the process of my LS swap parts aquisition. I would be interested to hear about your rearend set up.
