Unfortunately I have had a sudden change in my financial situation and I need to abruptly change the direction of my 1983 datsun 280zx build. If I'm to keep my Z it needs to be running by the end of summer. (****Please be patient with me since I haven’t been exposed to the v8 280zx in about 10yrs so I might be a lil rusty.***) I'm looking to do a lt1or tpi l98, 4l60/700r4 swap into my 280zx running, for reliability, aftermarket support and ease of swap which option and combination is preferable? Considering emissions aren't a issue which headers fit the sbc swapped 280zx best? If I converted to manual steering would this resolve header clearance issues? I head a rumor that the lt1 headers fit best. Which oil pan has the best clearances? I'm looking to use the jtr motor and trans mount. Is there any literature I should read that can make this swap easier? I have 2 spare 4l60 transmissions from v6 fbodys, if I can save $$ on a transmission purchase i'd like to reuse one of these but will theses be adequate to handle the v8 torque. For cooling I have a l28et radiator & 1.9 ford escort wagon electric fan. I'm using the walbro 255lph FP and I have an after market trans cooler. I have three r200ln diffs w/lsd, one has 336 gears, one has 354 and the last has 390. I'll be running aftermarket gauges. Is there any facebook group for hybridz? Parts I'm looking for are manual rack & pinion Any used swap stuff, aftermarket gauges, used headers, z31 300zx driveshaft, z31 4 lug rear suspension.
