streetrat18201 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) So I started this project back in October but I figured it's time throw it out there and see what everyone has to say. 1975 280z turbo lsx th400 8.8 swap. Found this beauty in a car port coupe miles away Taking her home Didn't hesitate to start pulling her apart Motor out Jci mounts came in Start on the energy bushings First mock up, can't wait till it's for real Stated pulling the motor apart for new bearings and new guts All the go fast toys are starting to stack up, better start putting them on Gutted bay, ready for clean up Well I won't be needing this anymore In with the new Motor finally coming back together with some new goodies Billet rails turned out great Finally back in, time to start the fun part Poor man's tacking skills Well that escalated quickly Just a little street car. Hey it fits! More to follow soon, gonna be gone for about a month, but I'll be full throttle as soon as I return.

78 LS2 Z Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 X2 for the detailed 8.8 solid axle install....Ladder bar? I'd trade all of my TTT stuff now for a good solid 8.8 installed, I cringe at the thought of a clutch drop, even with good IRS parts..... Nice start to your swap, should run great!

mattd428 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Nope didn't give up. Sold the datsun and bought a mustang. All the goodies from the datsun are now in the mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naptown Dave Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You and Dom kind of dropped out, I was wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd428 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Dom has been busy as hell. I put mine up for sale just because I wanted to see if anyone would bite. A guy called me wanting just the shell so I sold the shell to him and started the new toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
