Guest abemack Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I just bought a 87 turbo 300zx and are wondering if any one has accomplished a v8 with manual transmission swap into the z31, I have seen all the v8 swaps into 240z but i have found none on the 300zx swaps. Any info is much appreciated.one more thing is it better to do a fuel injection v8 swap or a carbuerated swap? manual or automatic which is easier? thanks for you feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike kZ Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Do a search with " z31 v8 swap" there are a few people that have done this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I have succesfully completed this swap with a 85 n/a 300zx and a 305 small block chevy. The car was a former five speed and i used a saginaw three speed i had laying around. Manual transmition is posible but u will need a hydraulic throwout bearing and u will have to midify your shifter handle. Automatic is deffinetally easier but thats no fun. For the engine swap itself i had to make my own mounts out of 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch steel wich was not that difficult but time consuming. If anyone has questions about this swap ask me i am happy to give information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1chael Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 If you and/or anyone else on the board that has done the z31 v8 swap could make a thread and list as much info as you can, that would be phenominally helpful to me and the recent influx of people who seem to be interested in the same project. I have an '85 turbo with a crap engine, and it seems it would be about the same money to roll with a small block as to rebuild the VG30. How much custom fabrication was required? Can you make templates of your mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoostedZ350 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 How much custom fabrication was required? Can you make templates of your mounts? I was wondering the same thing about the Z32, would anyone up here be willing to duplicate their mounts for a fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
