kidnotorius Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello guys! Im excited to announce I'm finally getting around to doing a engine swap to my 280z. Ive had her for about a year, and have never got around to working on it. This is not going to be my first engine swap( first one that will be mine in the end ) From what I've been reading and dug up I think I've figured out the three main components to this one. 1. Slotting the existing mount brackets and using the existing motor mounts on the rb20, 2. Rear pan oil sump. and 3 The tranny mount off of the 280 z(not sure how this one works, but I haven't looked at it yet. Am I correct? If not please let me know. It Isn't to important because I know the info is out there, just seeing if I can make it easier! The picture of the z was the end of day one into the body work, and rust removal. now we are painting.

feifongwong3 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I don't know what the mounts look like on the 280z as opposed to the zx, but it was just removing the insulator off the bottom side where the trans would bolt to the car and swap it for your cars stock piece.

pat1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You are correct. I posted pics of the trans mount look at my post history. You need a rear sump pan. And you can use the stock rb20 engine mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidnotorius Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks just let me know, and traffic is pretty bad, the road I live off turns into a stand still at 3 and people don't let me out of the drive way. And I to lived in east cobb for a SHORT time, those people are insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
