bigeZ Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I have recently purchased an 83 280zx, 5spd. I was wondering how much work and money (especially) is usually invested into swapping out the inline six for a sbc? Also, what all is needed for the installation, transmission, rearend, etc....?

Miles Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 You could own 2 Zs. I have a stock daily driver 240Z and a V8 240Z I built for my son for about $5,000.00. When I need an adrenalin rush I take the V8 out for awhile. Get the JTR book and read it 3 or 4 times before you start your project. Also, mine this forum using the search feature. Almost every question I had concerning the swap was answered here. Driving a V8 z is the second best feeling. Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
