Thanks 240z72 yeah that whole smog thing was a big part of why I had to get rid of my 77. It wasn't running right and I didn't have the money to figure out what was wrong. Once the DMV fees started piling up, it wasn't worth it anymore. Alainburan, yeah I've seen a few (old) posts online of people who were selling their cars for much less than they have into them. I figured if I could find something like that, it would save me some $ and time. Good point too about the level of swap. I figure even if I do get a higher mileage transplant, at least everything would be there to swap in another motor or rebuild the one that's there when it comes time. Anyone know how many miles those engines are usually good for?

Yeah, that's a good point, it's more work to fix something when you don't know what went into making it work in the first place.

any other input from anyone, in terms of sales you've seen etc. would be appreciated!

That's perfect, thanks!

Hello, I'm new to this forum but have always loved z cars. I used to have a 77 2 + 2 but had to get rid of it. Anyway, I really want to get a pre '77 z car that's been converted to an ls engine. I wouldn't have the means to do the conversion myself likely for a long time, and it seems like it may be a better deal to buy one that's already been converted. Any idea the price range I'd be looking at? I know that not a lot of these are sold very often so I'd probably have to search for awhile, but I'd like to know about how much I should plan to spend if I found a good deal. I wouldn't necessarily care if the body and interior needed work as long as I found a good running car. Any expertise is appreciated. Thanks!
