cholag Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I am looking for a mounting kit for my 1983 280ZX Turbo. I found the website http://www.Jagsthatrun.com, but that only covers Z's from 1970-1978. I am doing this because I bought the car for $300 hoping to make it run, but it's not getting spark in cylinders one and two, and the wiring is so bad that I would have to re-wire the whole thing and most likely end up re-building the engine. So, instead of spending around 500-600 dollars, I am just going to buy a 350 for it, but I want a mounting kit for it. sorry if this post sounds dumb and thanks for any help.

80LS1T Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 It's going to cost you more than $5-600 to swap in a SBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholag Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 well unless there is a different mounting kit on that site it says "The V8 conversion mounts for the 1979-1983 280ZX are completely different than the V8 mounts for the 1970-1978 Z car." and i know it will cost more i am gussing about 1000 to 1200 but thats not bad considering i bought the car for 300. also if i dont get lucky with a mounting kit and decide to re-build what i have is there a site that sells re-wireing kits once again sorry and thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drfrankenstein Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 the zx mounts should be pretty cheap to make if u study the manual.. but hey $250 is a fair price.... a local junk yard should have a replacement wire harness in stock.. but as far as the mounts goes... look real close and u will see the link right under the datsun Z car mount kit. dont look on the side that list the books. look on the other side where it list the kits order forms it says 280zx v8 mount kit.....
