logan1 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Where di dyou get your LEDs in the front from? I bought those off Ebay. I think they are a 12 led cluster. What kind of gauges? Looks awesome. Those are stock gauges with speedhut gauge faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Can you give some information on the rear caliper setup, and suspension? Your car is pretty much what im hoping to do with my 280z. Your car is amazing bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 CHAPTER II So i have decided to go ahead and do a carbureted small block chevy swap into my series I 240Z. As always i will be doing all the work in my garage with the help of friends. First my motor: I'm hoping to get around 250+hp and 300tq at the wheels. freshly rebuild Chevy 5.7L SBC 350. 4-Bolt main Block has been bored 40 over An excellent set of 882 heads Edelbrock RPM airgap intake Holley 600cfm carb New Comp 268 cam kit. New flat top pistons providing a 9.5:1 compression ratio M/T valve covers New Black Coated Steet Rod Hugger Headers Second Transmission: I will be using a World Class T5 out of a 5.0L mustang. I have rebuilt the transmission and done a few upgrades to build in a lil extra strength into the T5. New shift forks New shift fork inserts heavy duty cluster gear support plate New Input Shaft/4th Gear Bearing & Race New Output Shaft Bearing & Race (85-95) heavy duty input Bearing Retainer Third Chevy SBC to Ford T5 Coupling: In order to couple a chevy motor to a ford transmission i an using the bell housing for a chevy WC T5 transmission and a custom adapter plate. Fourth Clutch: Again to run a chevy motor with a ford transmission i an running a flywheel and pressure plate from a F-body camaro and the clutch is from a 5.0L ford mustang. I'll be using a JTR kit for the engine mounts etc. I have the drive shaft from the mustang and once i get the engine and transmission transplanted into the car; Ill get a final measurement for the drive shaft and have it cut and balanced. I got the hood and the exhaust off the car to get ready to pull the old 2.4L L6 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logan1 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Finally got the SBC and T5 dropped into the 240z. The entire motor sits behind the front cross member. Next step is to get the motor plumbed and wired; also need to get the drive shaft cut and balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logan1 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Today i created some homemade fuel lines for my car; the design has a return fuel line that ties into the OEM return lines of the 240Z.... hopefully it works as intended. Also installed my beloved monte-carlo bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Got my drive shaft shortened and balanced and changes the flange yoke (neapcor 2-2-899-1) to match my R200 4.11 diff. Work was done by Drive shaft Inc. here in Tulsa and cost me $147. Edited July 6, 2012 by logan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 got my exhaust all mocked up and welded today. I cannibalized my old twice pipe set up to make the new exhaust. So far i happy with the way the car is sounding however i need to figure out a way to raise my exhaust up a lil higher as i only have 2" of road clearance at the resonator. I bought a cheap flux core welder from Harbor freight and welded the exhaust up. Its my first time welding and it shows but hell its just some exhaust pipe.

Silverone858 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Wow that looks fantastic! You really did a great job! I like dark tint but in a car that red you are gonna need to see as good as you can to keep an eye out for the cops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 added a lil fire protection device to the car....cause i dont trust my wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickgt Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 How hard was it to fab a bracket to fit the mustang tranny to the sbc? It seems the ford T5 is quite stronger than the Chevy version. I would love to have a Ford T5 behind my 350sbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
