This is a car i've owned for 23 years, and before that it was owned by my mom in stock condition. I decided to do a V8 swap, as the crank was damaged on the L28 engine. It would have had to come out and be re-done anyway, so I just decided what the hell. I started this project in June of 2008. It is just now coming to completion. A few buddies that I work with & I have spent most of our Saturdays since 6/08 to finish this car.
It is a 1976 280Z Coupe with a brand new Chevy RamJet 350 crate motor. 350hp, 400lbft torque. T5 five speed borg warner out of an 89 Z28 along with bellhousing, flywheel, & clutch slave cylinder. Shorty headers, running into 2-1/2" tubing to twin moroso glasspacks to a Y, 3" tubing through a moroso muffler out a 3" tailpipe. New Silvermine stage 4 disc brakes for front. Ran out of cash for rear. Will do at a later time. New carpet kit from Motorsport. More to come.........
Well the car is finally on the street. Still have a lot of little things to finish up, but it's coming along fine. Runs great, very fast. Getting a lot of looks...is all that rumble coming out of that little Z? YES!
