You are in the Speed Shop Tuning and Modification Forum. Your Host is steve_

What is this discussion about? Engine

This forum is to ask questions or enjoy bragging rights about swapping out your stock engine for a more powerful one, be it the same make or from another make of car. This forum is NOT for descriptions of replacing same with same merely to replace a blown up motor. Use the Maintenance & Repair Board for that kind of swap.

#6 of 471 AWESOME - what a blast! by driftracer Apr 20, 2005 (12:51 pm)
I recently saw a 1978 280ZX with a VG45 swap....in Japan, in a magazine, of course, but how cool is that?
#7 of 471 early Z car by Mr_Shiftright HOST Apr 20, 2005 (1:06 pm)
Here's an early Z car with a Chevy 350. Some say blasphemy (I tend not to like to do this to "classics") but there is that 270HP for your right foot.
#8 of 471 That very cool by turbodude84 Apr 20, 2005 (1:08 pm)
That is very cool. That all you would want to I bet
#9 of 471 I've seen several very well by driftracer Apr 20, 2005 (1:14 pm)
executed Chevy small block swaps - they can look great, too, and not have major issues for handling if you go with aluminum heads, electric fans, relocated battery, and other weight saving ideas. I tried like crazy to convince my youngest son to do a 350 (or Ford 5.0) swap on his 1990 Nissan 240SX, since there are kits for both, but he was all about that JDM thing...
