Edz280zx Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 The only problem I've ever had with the LT1's is the opti-crap distributor...I say go tuned port! You can score a complete set up for well under 500 bones used, hell, I had a buddy get one for 250! Check the f-body boards. Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 OH! I've come across vortec 350s for $500... I think that would blow your budget though. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Well w/e the case you obviously have supporter and options :-). GET ER DONE!!!! Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hold the presses!! I just found out that I may be getting the motor out of this 12 second car!! Minus the aluminum parts and high rise intake...but who cares! I will have some serious HP to start with. He also has a couple of 4spds I can look at. He is making me an awesome deal AND I will get the chance to drive the car before I buy. The motor is a 350 with 307 heads and a cam...other than that I don't know much more right now. I am stoked!! :D I will need a waterpump and a stock intake. Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 why would you put 307 heads on a 350? i am confused by this 307's are smog engines. some one please school me. Quote Link to comment

Ya it was my understanding that 307 heads were like one the worst possible heads to use. Large cc, smaller valves, restrictive ports etc.... Maybe the guy already had a worked set of them or something, idk Quote Link to comment

I will find out more when I go and look at the Vega. I am pretty sure that the heads have been modified. My assumption is a higher compression is achieved with the 307 head........But I am still learning. Some one please school both of us. :) Quote Link to comment

Unless I'm mistaken anyway. Quote Link to comment

I bet they are 305 heads then and not 307s, I missunderstood my coworker. This car is very modified and the guys have been racing for many years so I am sure they wouldn't make a mistake like that. lol Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) higher comp yes but the valves and ports are tiny compared to the 350. my dad always threw 307's and 305 a way (he called them 30why's as in 30 why did they bother putting them in there) I want to build a chevy dz302 and put it in a datsun.

72240z Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 It depends which casting you have actually. The caprice is not bad stock at 1.84/1.50. Thats the same exhaust as many 350's and only a slightly smaller intake. It's really a tq mod, so flow volume is 2ndary, those heads on a flat top 350 yields ridiculous high comp and crazy tq but the motors don't turn more then 5.5k. Quote Link to comment

This motor runs good at 6500 rpm and loves it from what I was told. We shall see. ;) Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ya well I mean stock, if he built it then he could have easily ported it and installed larger valves. That would gain the 1k rpm. Who doesn't love a high tq motor lol, save lots of wheels and plan out your ratios, 2400lb car and all. :D Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 sounds like a fun car to drive just don't skimp on your suspension Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Waiting to go see this engine is killing me!!! AHHHH! Ok, I feel better now. I have located an aluminum sbc 4 barrel intake for 5.00 on CL. I got in touch with BrianV8z who lives near me and I will be getting together with him to discuss small details and look over his swap. This will happen very fast as soon as I get all of the right parts together. Anyone who has seen my projects knows this already though. lol Right now it is a matter of gathering what I need to get the swap in and running in 1-2 days. Ambitious I know... :D Quote Link to comment

Hi-Definition521PU Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Nice build. My neighbor down the street has been working on the Z from the ground up he plans to be a V12. Last I heard about this was months ago so thing could have changed by now. I like what you have done so far.:) Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 As a kid in San Diego, I got to see the brand new '73's rolling off the ships. I was sort of dragged into datto's by my dad, so I've been around them as long as I can remember. Dad's best friend in '74 was also a car guy and swapped a 350/350 into an early Z, he pulled it to the race track with his aluminum Buick 215 powered 521. To top it off, he owned 3 Hillmans and a slap stick Plum Crazy purple 'cuda w/a 440 and a 6 pack. Fastest stoner I ever met... Build what you like, it's your car. Good luck with this swap!

Danfinny Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Me and a good friend built a sbc a few months ago getting ready to put it in his 71 240z as soon as the body gets finished. he loves the small blocks in the Z's this will be his second one. I personally love the sound of the l24-l28 but takes a lot of work to get power out of them. now me i would drop a rb25 or rb26 in one got power and that wonderful six cylinder sound.
