deja Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I got a little rushed on the LT1 conversion since I sold the SBC and tranny that was in my Z. Two weeks ago we pulled the engine and tranny and carted it off to its new owner. He's going to install it in a 260Z, don't think he posts here but has visited. Last weekend I tore my Z apart. I am using the Camaro fuel tank, gauges and complete wiring harness, yeah gutsy I know. So everything came out of the Z including the dash. Stepping back and looking at the car with only the suspension left is kind of frightening. My dream of being back on the road for SEZ8 is totally unrealistic at this point. But this is the way I want to do the car so it will take a bit longer than I had originally planned. My JTR mounts and headers have arrived and the radiator and mounts are on the way. I've spent a good deal of time fighting through the Camaro wiring harness, eliminating what I don't need, which is a lot. I got my Camaro computer reprogrammed as a favor and some parts. This week I hope to get the engine bay and tranny tunnel ready for the first trial fitting, keeping my fingers crossed that I won't have to beat on the 280Z tunnel too much to accept the 4L60E. I will post some more picts later, don't have them uploaded yet. Anyone need a Z28 front and rear suspension, LOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeboy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Deja, Fantastic !!!Me, you and EvilC and probably a few others are on our way to the darkside !!!! I was hoping for SEZ as well, however some plumbing issues with the house and XMAS !!! push timeline back by 2-3 months. I looked at the EZ-wire harness and the Painless Harness, but I ended going with a Summit Harness. I helped Roy re-wire his V8 -Z with a Summit harness and it was not that bad- make sure you ground were possible and keep checking for continuity !!!! keep the update and the photos coming !!!!! Quick note I read in previous posts that guys had to pound the trans tunnel to make room for the 4L60 E - Will your transmission crossmember attach to the old location? My reason for asking is because I cut/grinded those ears flush to the trans tunnel to make room for the 4L60E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reason for asking is because I cut/grinded those ears flush to the trans tunnel to make room for the 4L60E. I'm not that far along yet. But I was told that a T56 won't fit with the stock mount flanges and the 4L60E ia bigger so there's no way. Cutting those out is my next project. I also have that paddle shifter in my long term plans. But that's going to have to wait, AC is first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Post that Z/28 stuff on ebay or try LS1tech.com I've sold some of the Z28 already. Some on EBay, some on craigslist, some on fbody.com. Problem with the big stuff is shipping. Ls1.com, CamaroZ28.com and several other boards require 50 posts to sell anything.
