BQR280Z Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Can one of you Z experts tell me if a 5-speed from a 85 300ZX will bolt to a L28 motor??? I just picked up an 85 300ZX for a parter and if the trans will fit my 76 280, I'll keep it. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 85 300 ZX ? Probably not a good bolt up to pre 1984 L Six Z. Correct me if I am wrong but my info suggests that all 5 speeds to and including 1983 will bolt to the L Six.. Post if you have difficulties with the head lights since I heard rumors of bad press.

Mike C Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 It definitely has a different bolt pattern. I believe the newer motor has a longer ouput shaft so even the T5 with it's removeable bellhousing can not be swapped onto an L series T5 bellhousing.
