80LS1T

I am located about 30 miles north of Appleton. I really dont want to order a leveler if I dont have to though. I am going to look tonight but if I cant find one then I will order one from summit.

HAHAHAHA funny guy huh!? Yeah do you know where I can put up a free site of some sort? I am going to document the whole swap. So I would love to put it up for you guys with the ZX's! After all we are deffinetly the minority in here. ZX's (still want a 240Z though!)

Well after about of a year of trying to get my step-dad to get his airplane(yes I sadi airplane. Its a Cessna 172) out of the garage I finally got my car(80') in the garage this Sunday! It was like christmas for me only better! Tonight I got the radiator, condensor, fan, exhaust, and all the wires conecting the engine and transmission to the car disconnected! Now I have to get a "engine load leveler" to take out the motor and tranny! Where can I get an engine load leveler from? Are there any hardware stores or autoparts stores that might sell them??? I am like happest person in the world I think! By the way incase you didn't know I am putting a 93' LT1 and T56 in my 80' 280ZX!!! Anyway I had to share! Now I must sleep!

Thanks guys! Those sites you gave me Grumpy were very helpful!

Ok I have a 93' LT1 and I want to convert the old Opti Spark to the newer Opti Spark unit. I have the timing cover and new opti spark distributor. What else do I need? Thanks, Guy

Is this the one you are talking about...? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872912680 or is this it...??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873216390

Which fan would you guys recommend to go with the Griffin 26 x 19 radiator? I was thinking of a duel 10"fan set up or a duel 12" set up??? Thanks Guy

Ok thanks guys! I think i will get the Griffin 26 X 19! Thanks again, Guy

I am putting a 93 LT1 in my 1980 280ZX. Which radiator would you guys recommend and what size should I use? Thanks a lot!

How mush would it cost just to have my LT1 block clearanced for 400 crank? Thanks, Guy

Yeah I ordered the SCCA one. They told me that it had 2 more bars that go across it than the regular street roll bar. At a price of $269.95. Thanks anyway guys!

I have a 93 LT1/T56 that I am modifing to put in my 80' ZX. I want to know what size of injector I should run with these mods... 1. Port and Polish of Heads and Intake 2. 58mm Throttle Body 3. .030 bored over 4. Not sure on what pistons but compression will be in the high 10's 5. LT4 Hot camshaft kit 6. EGR system eliminated 7. 1.6 ratio roller rockers 8. Upgrade to newer style Opti spark I was thinking 30lbs injectors??? Can someone give me a website or something that gives HP ratings for injectors? These are high impedence injectors. Thanks

Well is the SCCA one stronger/sturdeier(spelling?)??? Thanks!

I was looking through the MSA catalog tonight and I was wondering if someone could tell me what's the difference between a street roll bar and a SCCA roll bar? I am putting a LT1 in my car and its going to have about 400-450 HP. Which one would better suit my car? I am also going to have strut braces infront and in back. I do not want a full roll cage though. Thanks a lot!

So do 17's fit on ZX's with out coil overs?

What's so bad about removing the tranny? There isn't that many things holding it in.

Has anyone ever heard of a calculator or a software program that you can input values of a circuit and it will tell the measurements that you don't know? Like if you know the circuit has 12V and has to 10 ohms resistors in parallel and one 5 ohm resistor is series with both 10 ohm resistor... What would be the total current? And no I dont not what the answer to the equation! I just want a calculator or software program that can give me the answers to much more complicated circuits.

Sorry I ment it was $300.00

The guys from Cable X emailed me back and they said that the Cable X is $240.00. Has anybody used this?

www.ebay.com There on there all the time. That's where I got mine. I paid $2250 for a 93' LT1 and T56 out of a Z28 Camaro. Just a thought! Guy

So when I have my computer programmed after I am done modifing my engine; I will have to tell the guy what tire/rim size I have and rearend ratio for one of those Autometer gauges to work? Is that how they are calibrated? Thanks, Guy

Will this work though? Also where can I get a "nice electronic speedo" to hook into the T56? Thanks again, Guy

Ok I am putting a 93' LT1 and T56 in my 80' 280ZX...what I want to know is how do you hook up the speedometer to the transmission??? I read some earlier post and this seemed to be a good idea... http://www.abbott-tach.com/cablex.htm Tell me what you guys think. Thanks a lot!!! Guy
