Thanks for you replies, guys! I'm definitely feeling good about the LS engine, but as far as dropping the engine and transmission into the car, are there any big jobs to be done? Perhaps fabrication wise? And for you California residing guys, do you know of any shops or certain people that are capable of doing the swap? Because I definitely can't do this job myself, and I want the car to stay as my daily driver, so I need the swap do be done 100%.

I have a '73 240Z with a 305 SBC and I've been playing around with the idea of replacing the old 305 with an LS1. I've been researching and looking around for info about the swap for awhile, but I just want to hear from those of you driving LS1 Z's. My question to you is: when doing the swap, did you run into any nightmares? Or anything more difficult than usual. ALSO, I would like to hear all the good things about running with the LS engine. I already know some of you may categorize MONEY into being a nightmare, but I'm well aware of the cost that accompanies the swap and I am prepared to eat spam and bread for awhile

Looking for a good condition late model 1973 240Z bumper.

Okay, so today I did some spirited driving in 90 degree weather. I pulled over to let the car cool down and I opened the hood only to be greeted by some boiling, gurgling noises from the coolant reservoir tank. I'm pretty sure the engine was running a little hot, but I'm pretty sure its not supposed to BOIL the coolant, right?

For all you lucky folks with power steering in your V8 Z, I need your help! I bought a SBC V8 swapped '73 Z recently and its a pretty clean and well done swap with P/S and A/C both installed. BUT, the power steering has a little quirk. When the wheel is turned to full lock on either side, the car makes the most horrible grinding noise accompanied by some rattling in the steering. I am completely stumped and I've checked the power steering fluids and it isn't running low. If anyone can help out, that would be greatly appreciated!

Grumpy, I currently have a 305 SBC in my car, what do you suggest I do to get the most power out of my engine while still making it my daily driver? --thanks
