okay, the deal is i want a car to use in AZ when i'm at skewl, but i don't want it to be the gvr4. but i also have an 86 300zx n/a that is in terrific shape, but so goddamn slow. i was reading about how easy and common it is to slap sbc's into 240zs and stuff so i thought i would look into it. turns out, from what i've seen so far, that there is a kit to mount a sbc in every single Z car......except the one i own, a z31 300z 84-89. but there are a bunch that have been done, kit or not.
you can get an LT1/6pd engine tranny combo for about a grand if you look around.
so the hard part would be engine tranny mounts, which i've read aren't really all that hard to make if you are a reasonable fabber. (which i'm not) so thats where the local shops come in. would elite, qpr, someone be willing to fab up some mounts for me in the summer for a reasonable price?
i think the finished product would be a fun, reliable car that would probably be surprisingly fast consdiernig how much lighter the Z is than the LT1 donor.
any ideas? i know some of your know your domestics so what say you?
