Guest Anonymous Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 how bout a vette motor LT 1 into a 90 z32 (300zx) ?!!!!!!!!! has it been done? what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 Give me a break! Have you ever seen a Z32 engine bay in person? Drop a wrench and it will never hit the floor that engine is packed in there so tight, there's no way you could possibly fit an LT1 in its place. Besides, the VG30DE/DETT is such a nice engine! Why would anyone want to yank it and put a Chevy in its place? But I digress.. I must admit, it's a fun thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy 77zt Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 maybe if you stuff the engine under the dash board like late model camaros.length might be a problem.width ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Folks, I believe you are falling into the "BIG, HEAVY V-8" trap again. Engine displacement and # of cyls is not an indicator of external dimensions. I am betting the SBC will fit just fine if you can get proper mounts fabricated. I am sure you have all seen pics of the TT in a 1st-gen Z compared to a SBC in the same chassis. Why would it be any different in a VG32? Ever looked under the hood of a late Mustang Cobra? Pull out that wide DOHC V-6 with all that plumbing and you will be surprised how much room is under that hood. Now, would I make that swap? NO! I would check with Scott (ZR8ED) on zcar.com and see if he still has that complete 95 TT drivetrain for sale. I came ever so close to making the 240Z/TT swap. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z http://www.mindspring.com/~vscott911/gnz.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Dude, hang tight and I'll get you all the info... I just ordered the LS1 engine for my Z32. I can't find any information anywhere on the net, so I guess I'm going to figure it out on my own. rthompson@smartstream.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
