that is a big ass heater man.

dude, your car is freaking awesome. all i can say is carbon fiber wheel arches and some offset would perfect that car for me. this car is sick
-
i've seen LS2+T56 combos with all the wiring and belts etc with 75-100K miles go for 3-4K on ebay you could probably get a good engine and tranny for 3- 3.5 k if you are patient. you should also call some junkyards/ pick n pulls in your area to see if there are any pontiac GTOs with undamaged engines with/ without t56 trannys.
-
did the engine fire up? did you check to see if you could build the RPMs with the throttle control on the engine? it sounds like that car is needing some serious love and i would jut keep looking, there are plenty of Z31s out there in much better condition.
-
why dont you just go with the LS2? i dont know anything about how it fits in the Z32 chassis but i think its just a few inches longer than the LS1. probably a little more expensive too but if you can find a wrecked GTO at a junkyard you could probably get it for cheap. 6.0L and 400bhp out of the box. just seems like more bang for your buck to me.

your build looks a little more involved. I had to make a trans cross member, modify the motor mounts, have a driveshaft made, and figure some plumbing and wiring, not to bad compared to what you've started. I also painted it.
I started to put a 400 sbc in but figured it would be easier to go nissan. I'm used to sbc I hope I'm not disappointed with the dett in performance.
My son has a 04 Spec v and turboed it and it's pretty damn fast, so I thought I would give the ole turbo world a shot.
i highly doubt you will be dissatisfied! the Z31 weighs quite a bit less than the Z32 and they are pretty fast stock. that car is going to have some big balls haha

those seats are sexy and the headliner is pretty cool. if you cleaned the under hood paint job up and had the exterior painted white it would be off the wall awesome
-
ooh, your shop is just a short hop away from me. i've been looking for a good 240/60z ever since i moved down to CA (west hills) and might have to look you guys up for some more power
-
and i thought that my 375whp goal was up there.....
that is completely insane man, sounds like a blast
-
i went out and checked my 86t's POV and it looks exactly the same, don't know what would cause it to pop like that at start up though
-
you could probably get one from a boneyard for $200. only 87-89 z31 turbos have the LSD though and i am not sure how much modding it would take to get it in there. (although i AM sure a lot of people have done it here)
-
man i just spent at least 3 hours reading this entire thread and am seriously thinking about selling both my z31s to build a v8 260/80z. it wouldn't be a track only car but you sir are an inspiration. i cant wait to see what this beast is going to look like when you are done:trippen:
-
sweet jesus you live less than an hour away from me. i hope i see you on I5 or 405 someday
-
i am seriously thinking about taking my cat and muffler off of my turbo now and just running straight pipes.....that sounded so awesome!
-
how do you get 30mpg with an LS2...i barely get 25 with an engine half the size

^LOL!
your best bet is probably to buy a boot (or two) so they won't be able to move the car. the removable steering wheel is a good idea too. i've had a few occasions where i get into my car to find the seat position changed and all the stuff in my glovebox strewn about my passenger area and i am reasonably sure my quick disconnect steering wheel was the only thing that saved her from being stolen. i take it whenever i park my car.
