labrat Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Alright, i'm almost at the point of no return... I managed to pick up a rebuilt (30k or so) 327 from a '66 caprice with a turbo 350 tranny and a good long chevy driveshaft. Any other parts i might need? (major things) These are all to go into a 1981 280ZX non-turbo. I spun the crank pulley and ate up the crank, so this is better than rebuilding the L28. I know i will need a radiator and electric fan, but what is the best way to convert the other accessories, mostly the power steering pump and the AC compressor. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 Dunno what state you are in, but many states' emissions laws forbid engine swaps where the engine is from an older year/model of car than the one it's going into. Better check that before you go spending all of your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrat Posted February 26, 2001 Author Share Posted February 26, 2001 Yeah, i have thought about that. I haven't really checked into local laws, but i was under the impression that as long as it will pass the emmissions standard for the county, i was okay. If anyone knows anything about how this works in texas, feedback is appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
