daflyinghawaiin Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 hello gang i am contemplating a small block chevy into my 83 280zx turbo. reason is i do not know much about the turbo scene and i am more of a simplistic chevy guy. meaning i have no knowledge in foreign made cars. but i got this one because i wanted to own one since in school long ago. now, i have a 90 s13 with a conversion in it. it is freaky fast! however i dont like how they laid it out. so i have this great chevy engine sitting on my engine stand. that i am really thinking of dropping it in my 83. so is there somewhere i can go to look for the proper engine mounts and so forth? i am also not opposed to keeping it original as it is a numbers matching all original vehicle. it ran for a bit when i first bought it and then never started after that. its beyond my abilities to start tearing the motor up. the build for the engine is supposed to be in cardomain i beleive. it was built in vegas and i am in hawaii. i posted once in here and i forgot about this. so im trying it again. its from vegas and the sin city z club. has all the autographs of the builders under the hood. pretty kool. anyhow i am in terrible need of some guidance. again i am not a turbo guy or even foreign makes as well. just a simple chevy boy who does not really want to rip up this oriental toy to stick a v8 in it. any and all help will be greatly appreciated. aloha, jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.dangle34 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have a complete, new and unopened JTR v8 engine and trans mount conversion kit for a great price, does that help decision???? ZX with a v8 is the best zx in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX with a v8 is the best zx in my opinion Hello yes i am interested in it. let me know. I do have engine mounts from an s10 conversion which are almost identical. What i dont have is the transmission crossmember for the chevy trans. The engine mounts look the same but not really sure of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
