Guest Anonymous Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I am trying to figure out the cheapest combo to put in my datsun 260z. I was thinking of a 350/350 but i really want a manual tranny. My money situation is kinda low.... i want to keep it under 2000 dollers. Please help!!!!!

DavyZ Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Buy a T5 from a 305 V8 powered Camaro (mid 80's to early 90's). The World Class T5's (built '88 and newer) are the best of the lot. They can be found from about $450 to $650 or more at wrecking yards, etc. $2000 total for a swap is very small money when you take into consideration all the little stuff that can eat up more money in a hurry. You can do it if you have connections, leave everything near stock, and shop for the best deals on everything you buy. Good luck!

Tim240z Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 2000 is going to be a tight order. Remember you are going to have smog issues sice your car is a 74. I would suggest buying a wrecked camaro or similar with a manual tranny and transfer everything over. I would say that once the motor and tranny are paid for, look at spending about another grand on stuff like exhaust, drive shaft and ather misc. stuff. Hope that this doesn't burst your bubble.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dude, I'm selling a complete setup that is in my V8 Z, a '77 Camaro 350 with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and a holley 600 carb, Corvette ramshorn exhaust manifold just like in the JTR book. Comes with a newly rebuilt th-350 tranny with B&M shifter for $650 I am also selling the exhaust for the car, dual 2" piping with Dynomax mufflers, not very intrusive at all, for $100.
