PhunkyPhil Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hey gang, I'm a newbie here... I have a 1977 280Z and I'm looking to do a swap. I'm not much of a mechanic, so I'm looking for someone in the central Ohio area that could help me out... preferably someone with a shop and some credentials. I'm thinking of getting a LT1/t56 setup... I saw one on CL that looked pretty decent. Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks! -phil- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I'm about 60 miles SW of you... not a mechanic by any conventional definition, and a bit too fatalistic to offer the sort of spunk and temerity needed to complete a successful swap quickly... but I'd be happy to offer advice, and to show an example of what's possible. Send me a PM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest buying parts and have local engine machine shop put together stroker '96-'99 Small Block Chev. Else, purchase crate engine. Look on Craigslist or Ebay for T-56 transmission. I prefer to build engine from well chosen parts which DOES NOT happen with crate engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
