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...

rsicard Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Phil: Purchase the T-56 transmission, NOT the LT-1. Purchase a crate 383 stroker Small Block Chevrolet engine. Then proceed from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domzs Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Once again , GET A DONOR CAR . A lot cheaper in the long run . Take everything you need for your conversion and sell the rest to get some $$$ back . Try to find an F body for under 2K , it's not impossible .
