Guest Anonymous Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I've been lurking for awhile around hybridz.org...trying to find out something about older Z's and how much work will be involved with a swap... I guess I'm just gonna straight out ask... Let's use a '78 280... I've gotten a bunch of people telling me to put an LS1 into it...so i'm going with that... If anyone's done this (I'm sure someone has on THIS board), about how much time and money did it take and is it a relatively easy swap?

Racin_Jason Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 HybridZ has an extensive library of info regarding anything and everything to do with a swap like you ask about. Im certain you will find most, if not all of your answers in short order with the search button. Once you have exhausted the vast resources here, then come ask questions. It saves everyone alot of trouble...including yourself. Welcome aboard! RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Start here, then use the search: http://www.hybridz.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002465 Awesome motor, but I'm going LT1/T56 (cheaper and easier, I hope) Good Luck, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Try this he has an LS-1 being worked for his Z. LS1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Welp, looks like you gotta wait 'til saturday afternoon to do your searching if you haven't already. So, go to my site (link below) and be aware that the LS1 swap is much more difficult than the SBC swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest m35514h Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hey Eclipse I have seen you in several dallas boards posting, and i am working on a 78 280z carbbed 350 .03 over and a 150 shot of nitrous. I am not finished yet(who really ever is), but if you would like some face to face talk i am located in the dfw area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 The LS1 has more potential, makes more power in stock form, but less people have done it. Its also a good bit more costly, and apperantly more difficult. Happy searching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
