Guest yatsen Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Almost everyone on this board recommends the JTR Datsun Z V-8 conversion. I'm just curious; has anyone ever tried the Motorsport Engineering V-8 Conversion or John's Cars ZCar V8 conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casey240Z Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 My car has the motorsport conversion. I bought the car already with the V8. The engine sits pretty close to the firewall but I think it could move back a little bit. The engine is pretty low and I don't think it could go much lower. My car had a carbed engine and TH350 trans but the motor took a crap on me so I pulled both and I will soon be swapping the LT1/T56 setup.

DavyZ Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 These kits have been discussed ad infinitum on this site. The search function should yield quite a few very LONG threads. Please try it and see what you find. Then, cut and paste the threads here so others can see them too. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Generally the consensus is that the JTR conversion is the best documentation for the sbc conversion. If you want to go with the LS1/LS6 and have good mechanical/electrical ability get the parts kit from John's Cars. His is the only one currently available (almost) for those engines.
