We Bought a 350Z

350z is not the first car i think of putting a 'better' engine into, let alone a 350z that already runs, but hey.. I'm still interested since i have never looked into this swap before. Carry on..

I was wondering what happened to the BMW and the LS1.  I had a forever build on a LQ4 6.0L that started not long before you.  It is running in my Suburban now.  So I knew there were major hold ups.  If you need the front and rear cover aligning dealy's to finish the assembly, I have them.  Not terribly expensive, but very useful.  But for what they cost, sharing is good. 

Pro Tip, put a new oil pressure sender in if you aren't going full mechanical.  I own two LS vehicles and have had two go bad, and they are a royal PITA to replace in the car.

Ya and it looks like the tiniest little edge of a tail light of another first gen RX7 right next to the other. Double your fun. 

Can i drive it when it’s done?  

Also i may be interested in ls1 f body parts as long as they are engine parts

And another in the driveway and another two stashed offsite....haha

so, when will we see this in South Bend?  

Great project idea

This project spurred a thought. Are people installing Nissan V8s into Z-cars?

One time i did one on a Corvette.. I had the transmission out already so i did it from the bottom of the car with a 27mm crows-foot wrench. To me this is really ironic and hilarious if you know where the sensor is..

Yes. 

So what you're saying is...you need to get rid of a perfectly fine VQ35DE? I might be able to help with that

That is actually what I'm saying! I need to get rid of the automatic attached to it, too. 

I'll be done with the engine in late March, and it will come with a video of it running well and a Blackstone oil report. 

If you're interested, shoot me an email at tom@ this website.
