narcolepZy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 So I built a small block 355 and have a built 2004r. I am also about to buy (deal pending hopefully all goes well) a 83 280z. Im wondering what are some things thta will make it eaasier... I mean like aluminum Radiators that work with this swap well or i could just try and get a universal one and will make it work. Also are there any companies that make things that are specifically for this swap such as V8 motor mounts for the 280z or any other things that will make this swap so much easier without having to do alot of custom stuff. Thank you all. P.S. Im new member this is my initial post I hate to ask a question in my first post its not right way to do things but if i get this Z soon i want to start ASAP. Thanks in advance all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 What you are looking at is a 280ZX, not a 280Z. Do a search for 280ZX V8, you'll find lots of info. Here are the JTR V8 mounts for ZX: http://jagsthatrun.com/Datsun-ZX_Order.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunZman04 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Motosportauto.com sells v8 swap kits also besides jags that Run(JTR). Occasional a kit comes up on ebay also. Good luck on your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
