  1. Thanks for the info! I shall try that when we start getting the old engine pulled and the swap ready to be started
  2. id like to see designs of your crossmember and mounts. if you could post up build specs and sheets after you get them done.
  3. Hey guys, So after a long time of research i think its finally time for me to start. Im bringing home my baby ZX this weekend, and she will be going under the knife. The plan is to drop a 1991 Mustang 5.0 H.O. into my Z. The engine is built to cobra specs. It will be fuel injected, and the only thing im missing is a T5 (Junkyard) So i figured it shall be named the "CobraZ". Ill post pictures as soon as she gets home (and washed...). If anyone has any information or advice. PLEASE! Dont hesitate to chime in!!! This will be my first ever engine swap, So why not go for something challenging?! Any and all Help or Encouragment will be appreciated. Will be updating regularly. Let the CobraZ project commence.
  4. if you are using the t-5, you may want to find a speedometer cable out of an 82 turbo 280 as they also use a t-5. That should retain stock gauges, or you could swap in a turbo cluster. Im not positive this will work, but its a thought And also, Are you still using the origional crossmember? What steps are you taking for reinforcement? How do i know the differences in the steering? Is a rear end of a 300zx a bolt in or a fab. in? Im finally picking up the car this weekend, gonna build up some money and get everything together and get this done!
  5. does anyone know if the kit will work with an 82 280zx? im super serious about dropping a 91 cobra motor into it. it already has the T5. just need a bit more information
  6. Hey there, Im really interested in doing this swap, but a few things are holding me back. I saw u did it with a 240z, the vehicle that i have is an 82 280zx. It has the t5 in it already, but i may swap it to an AODe and a ratchet shift. What all diferences are there between the 2 vehicles. And what other fabrication will i have to do to ensure making everything fit. Any other help will be appreciated, and as soon as i get enough money to start the build ill get some pictures going. Thank you!
  7. Hey there. Im looking at doing the same thing with a 280zx that im going to be getting soon. Except mine will be fuel injected. I would love any Help/Advice i can get as this will be my first actual swap into a vehicle. Couple of questions. What year engine did you use? What modifications had to be done to make sure the engine would fit? Where did you get the motor mounts? What headers are you using? Transmission or rear end modifications? Radiator modifications? Steering Modifications? What suspension setup is it that you are using, and did you have to fabricate anything to make it work? Im sure i will come up with more questions once i get the car, any information u have i would greatly appreciate! Thank you very much. Bmies
