I know some road racers that run the r180 diff w/ls1 power plant and after 6 or 7 years there is finally some metal shards collecting on the magnetic drain plug. So it should work fine for a l28et.

When I said heavily weighed I was referring to where that swap was on my list. Saying that I was thinking of doing the swap.

The ls series motor is also a heavily weighed option.

Sorry, sorry when I put rb25det I ment rb26dett.

Some people have told me the swap can cost upwards of 10k is that true or is this including upgrades to the motor? Because I intend on keeping the motor stock and doing z31 motor mounts, oil pick-up and pan then shorten and balence a drive shaft my friend has laying around from his swap. Then I'd have to figure out what I'm doing with the inter cooler and radiator but there's a lot of after market stuff for this swap I'm sure.

I'm planing on daily driving it for a while and when I get the cash turn it into a road racer or street and strip car. And I've been looking around and I think an rb26dett will suit what I want for now. Plus I can build the motor a lot without having to beef up the bottom end. But I live in colorado and there arnt many rb's in the area so I'm having trouble finding a motor and trany.

I was thinking ls1 w/carb conversion because I don't have the money for getting a custom harness. But I've driven a complete fuel injection and everything ls1 in a 240 and they are really fun.

I'm debating on swapping a new powertrane into my 240z. My options are a 350 small block, a rb25det or l28et. I've been looking at prices and I just want to hear what you guys think about these swap options. So please comment, your input is much appreciated! I'm leaning towards the small block because I'm a gm fan but the inline 6's will save a lot of weight.

After looking around I've found that sparco fighters w/ 5 point is what I'm going with haha better be the most comfortable seats ever for 599 but I need to find a retailer so I don't buy them and figure out I can't sit in them :/

I like the seat I'm just looking for a more aggressive shoulder because my friend has a scca 240 and the seats in that thing are a snug fit and i like the fot more but I want some adjustment for a road car haha and there a little hard to get out of not that I don't mind driving my z

Yeah I'd defiantly cut and box new rails to get the seats lower and to sit farther being that I'm 6'2'' thanks for the link as well

Sweet will do I'm gonna wrap the headliner door panels hatch inner trim piece and tranny tunnel with an orange black and grey plad as well as inserts for the seats ( when I get them ) this car is gonna be mean

Pic?

yep lt1 on t56 on any 4th gen Camaro or firebird unless there v6 but in 97 or 98 they switched to the ls1 and that's your best bet the only thing you need to worry about is the rear end drive shaft and tranny tunnel mods but no big deal if you got the time!

I'm putting a built ls1 in my z aluminum block and head weighs about as much as that l28 with 3 times the power but an option I'd look at it a supercharged l28 more displacement easy install loads if power:)
