davidsecrest Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hey Joe. Great work on your Z. Very nice job. It's nice to find another Z-car guy in NJ. I own a copperhead orange 1974 260Z 2+2 with a Gen I 350cc SB and 4 barrel carb and a 4-speed MT which I bought in 2012 and a white 1975 280Z 2+2 with a bone stock 2.8L and an automatic transmission which I bought in 2012. I'm so tired of the SB's poor fuel economy (10 mph regardless of how I drive it). I'm planning on swapping in a LS1 and T56 from a pull out. The problem is that I own a condo in Jersey City and have absolutely no place to do the swap. No garage, no driveway, nothing. I'm going to have to get someone to do the swap for me and I would love to get some recommendations as to who can do this swap in NJ. Can you do the swap for me? LOL. I heard that JS Performance in Hulmeville, PA does a lot of LS swaps so I called them. It turns out they mostly do swaps into F-bodies. They told me they could do the swap and it will about $10,000, They would be getting the engine and tranny from a wrecking yard in Bristol, PA which might be the same place your friend got his pull out. My preference is to find somebody to do the swap who has actually done an Z-car LS1 swap. Any names would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks.

rags Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi David, This car isn't mine but one I helped a buddy to build at my place. It's the fifth LS motor'd car to come out of my garage. Shoot me a PM of exactly what you want to do and we'll discuss prices to get it done. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'll help. And by help, I mean shout encouraging things while drinking in my lawn chair. When my VG33 blows up I know where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78zstyle Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 VG33? What happened to the 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsecrest Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks,Joe. I'm looking to do anything nearly as extensive as your friend's project. I've heard that an LS1 in stock form should give me plenty of power so for now I just want to swap a pullout LS1 with a 6 speed into my 260Z. I wouldn't mind changing to a fuel cell or another fuel tank that would allow me to have an exhaust outlet on either side of the tank or fuel cell so that I can use larger mufflers. My car is loud! Hope this helps you come up with a price. Thanks. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
