It was great to see you and your Z tonight Omar! My 15 year old asked a few times afterwards, "Dad, can our Z look like that one day?"

Check McMaster.com, you can usually find whatever pitch, length and head style you want for a decent price. I don't buy metric hardware from anywhere else due to the issues you have stated.

Spend the money on a good turbo with everything else you've done. Not worth grenading an unknown ebay unit and wipping out the intercooler or other engine components and all of your hard work thus far.

Nice!

That sucks. Sorry to hear about the troubles, glad you got the Z to your new home with out any other major issues. I'll be waiting and watching for a re-spray update!

If your not able to run a stock ecu with uprev or HP tuners (they supposedly picked up Nissan support a couple years ago), then you have to go full aftermarket to MS3, Haltec, AEM, Link, etc... Over on the NICOclub forum there is a build with a vk56/cd009 into a 280zx that the guy used an early Honda AEM 4 cyl ecm and repinned some wiring. https://forums.nicoclub.com/my-560zx-titan-vk56de-powered-280zx-s130-build-thread-t547031.html You could also check in the VK Nation Facebook group, there's quite a few vk56/45 swaps there into the later model Z cars and infinities. Lots of truck stuff but the ecm, headers, cd009 etc is all pretty much the same.

That's because everyone is still fascinated with the LS and T56 combo. Nice job on the shifter housing extension!

If you have to ship it check on rates thru Fastenal on 10th west. Supposedly they have really great rates between their locations for freight anywhere in the US.

What mirrors are those?

Car looks amazing Omar!

McKinney does have a mount system they have developed, as well as few other engine swap related parts. Binge of them however are advertised on their website. I emailed them back and forth quite a bit a couple years ago in this very subject and was told that they were trying to come up with a streamline prices to produce the parts and release them. It's definetly worth calling or emailing as stated by @Neverdone.

Sub'd... this looks pretty gnarly for sure.

^^^this, highly recommend a face shield as well. When those little wires do break off and stick in your clothes they can feel like razors, definetly don't want one in your eyes or any other part of your face.

I'm really diggin' that dark blue with the brown interior. 😎. Car looks amazing, I wish I was in town to run over and take a look. Should be perfect for some beautiful canyon cruises, leaves were already changing up by Heber this past week.
