ConvertibleZ Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Well I have finally started, I own a 1994 Z32 manual and convertible. I decided to do the VK56 swap solly on the whim that I haven't found very many people doing it. My hopes: - VK56 swap -Manual trans rebuilt -Stand alone engine management - Possible turbo setup after installation - and all kinds of other modifications, money and skills pending. Of course all and any feed back is appreciated. I know some people are delving into this as I speak, a few of them on here even.

ConvertibleZ Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Got my trans adapter from Collins had to clean out some threads on it and cut out one of the mounting holes off for another trans. Wouldn't clear the starter. Had to clearance the bellhousing..... not very good, after mock up I will return to clean this up. For even more space I had to clearance the starter as well. Hopefully this doesn't effect the structural strength that's suppprting the starter gear After this attempt I found out that the oil pan has to come off in order to install.

ConvertibleZ Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Sorry for the multiple posts but I have only had small chunks of time to post everything. The stock trans mount works with the engine and adapter plate. Also the adapter plate may need some modification to gain ground clearance. More when I get another chance to work on it Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Nice! Brickhouse customs is supposed to be releasing a new aluminum (shallower) one piece oil pan sometime in the very near future. McKinney motor sports makes a few different very enticing options too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
