People have ALOT of issues with Spec's. Next time you are looking for a clutch, look at the Monster clutchs over on Ls1tech.com. They are some of the best clutch's on the market.

Pretty cool project. I wish you the best of luck. There are 2 people I can think of that tried this swap and ended up giving up. The vertical dimensions of an LSX create a lot of problems with trying to make it fit. You might get by with using a cowl hood, but even that may present some issues. If I remember correctly, the intake manifold/piping is going to cause some issues at the front of the hood, which might make is hard to even use a cowl hood.
My fiance's dad has a Z31 with a SBC. It was impossible to use a stock hood with this set up because the carb was about an inch too tall. They ended up having to put a scoop (actually looks decent) in order to clear the carb.
Good luck man.

yes, this is going to be a predominantly street car. I thought of a LS1, but it's only making about 350hp. are the costs that much higher for an LS2 or LS6 than an LS1?
Uggg. You are way too caught up in stock numbers. And just so you know, car guys don't use flywheel hp numbers anyways.
Do you know the difference between an LS1 and an LS6? The quoted statement just seems ignorant. If you are worried about what GM said the engine made, than buy the LS6... The LS2 will make more power stock, as well as mod for mod, but it would not be worth the extra money to me. You can get 450rwhp out of an LS1 easily, and that is plenty for a street car that weighs less than 3000lbs. There are several people that have gotten 500rwhp out of the LS1 on a stock bottom end.
-
If you are trying to do it budget friendly, just get an LS1/T56 pull out. An LS1 will be alot cheaper, and can easily put you at 400hp to the wheels with a cam swap.
-
Even if that were true (and I am not doubting it) I still refuse to pay that much for a part that will only NET maybe 20HP to the wheels on a motor that will rarely see above 6000 RPM. I'd much rather pay alittle more for a nitrous setup and NET at least 100HP to the wheels.
Just my 2 cents.

On another note, here is the panel for the custom tail lights. The custom roll pan is next on the list to get fabbed, prob next week sometime.
It will net you under the curve too. I am telling you from experience. If you are keeping the internals stock, then ya, you are probably right. If you ever want to put a decent size cam in it, that 300 bucks for an LS6 intake would be a pretty good idea.
-
Although this is true, the LS1 intakes will cause you to lose power over the truck intake (but are cheap) and the LS6 intake don't improve anything until above 6000+ RPM and are still fetching $450+ (used) w/o fuel rails/injectors/etc.
An LS6 intake can easily be found for $275 to $325. Anyone asking $450 is nuts. Check out the classifieds on ls1tech.

Very cool project man. I love the wheels. It definitely does not look like a half ass build.
I am trying to decide if I have the balls to do something like this.

Here is a video of the sbc. No light and belt squeal... oh well
I was bored so I took a video of the sbc. No light and the belt is squealing but it sounds good
-
is that a water to air intercooler? but yeah nuts will do that to turbo's just wait till it over boost's and your turbo turns into a grenade..
That is an air to water intercooler. I never was too sure who made it, but it was made for the z31's back in the day. I have never seen another one. It was pulled off an AE from a junk yard... pretty good find eh?
-
Thanks for the invite. I read thru that forum everyday, but mainly reside at 88hybrid.com. I have been meaning to register with z31performance for a while. lol Keep in mind that the 350 z31 is not mine, I have the much less impressive one. I will have to get some videos of that car running down the street sometime.
-
I can tell you that its a th350... thats about all I know
-
I also am not super fond of the interior, but for some reason I think the stickers really work on that car. I guess they are better under the hood than all over the car.
The car is pretty quick. Its fastest time was 11.27, and that was before he got new aluminum heads.
He is actually my girlfriends father. He sold me my first Z, and spread the dizeaze to me. Right now I am dying for an S30 with a V8 swap.
-
I was bored so I figured I would post up a few pictures of a 350 z31 since I have not seen many. This car is not mine, but belongs to a buddy who is afraid of computers lol.
-
And last but not least here is the Z31 museum driveway.... (My girlfriend's house... her z is the red one in the driveway)
-
Just signed up for the site and I figured I would give you a little bit of info about my car. I drive a 1986t 300zx. The car used to be pink but I did a shitty rattle can job because I was sick of the pink. I have owned the car for 8 month. I have blown up four transmissions.... t5's suck ass.
The car when I bought it
Here is my turbo after it sucked up a nut
After being ran into.... PARKED
Here is my z as it sat about a month ago.... I dont have any pictures after the work I have been doing lately
Car needed to be wet sanded BADDDD. I also got the adapters for the new front wheels and I have those on the front now as well.
Lol thats alot of pictures... but I think I will add some more. For anyone asking about a SBC z31 here is my girlfriend's dad's.
