Guest wrxdriver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 so im thinking of buying a early 70's to mid 80's z and swapping a ls1 with the 6 spd and was just wondering if any of you have done it and if you have how hard is it and how much would it be to do a complete swap, and get it running. and if you could get me a complete list of parts needed.

tfreer85 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Oh sweet jeebus. Very basic questions, use the search function, read the rules and FAQ's. Search before you ask, you'll go a lot further around here. Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrxdriver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 im more or less just looking for a list of parts and total cost, i realized that when i posted it it was kind dumb but just really want a parts list and total cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well I'm about 6k worth of parts for mine. That doesn't include exhaust, wiring, driveshaft. The parts you need are decided by the parts you get from your LS1 combo. But basically you'll need the motor, trans, Broken Kitty trans/motor mounts, radiator, wiring harness, driveshaft, headers/exhaust, fuel system of some sort. It all adds up quick, it also depends if you are going to upgrade anything else, suspension, rear-end, guages, etc. etc. There isn't a definite answer for what does it cost, its all based on what you can afford and what you have. Just search a little more there is a long running thread of "how much did it cost" you should check it out. Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It adds up quick, man. You think you're going to do something basic but before you know it just like tfreer is saying, you end up overhauling the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrxdriver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 i have about 15k to spend on car, and parts, and don't want to get to crazy just a stock ls1 and suspension. do you think that would be enough for a basic set up. or would a lt1 be easier and cheaper.

DavyZ Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 You are asking for a million "search" responses. I did a "search" and low and behold I found this halfway down the list... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread...ost+conversion Davy Utilize the search function and you shall be rewarded...

Mikelly Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 So in the last 24 hours the noobs have hit us hard with some very basic and obviously NOT SEARCHED topics... Dude, We're not spoonfeeders here... If you want to be "wetnursed" then go elsewhere. If you want to educate yourself on what it takes to put an LS1/6speed combo into a Datsun Zcar, then SEARCH using the SEARCH FUNCTION... You can also GOOGLE it. Not trying to be the jerk of the day (Although a few of our members will certainly give me their votes) but we've all got lives and this subject has been beaten into the ground.
