Edz280zx Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 A rough estimate is around 450 h/p...that enough? Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 A rough estimate is around 450 h/p...that enough? Yeah, nothing like the sound of a V8! 450hp should make your zx move! No smog laws I take it? Quote Link to comment

Edz280zx Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 It was brought to my attention that I maybe should update this thread....well....the project is kind of at a standstill. But I should be getting back to it within the next month or so as soon as I get into my new place. I've still got the fuel system, wiring, and exhaust to do... along with a couple other things like shifter, gauges, and little things. Hope to have it back on the road by the end of June or so. So expect some updates here and there. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 so glad i found this thread, keep up the work. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 you wouldn't have to do wiring and fuel system if you would have kept the L-series. 1 Quote Link to comment

Edz280zx Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 lol.....if it makes you feel any better, my new s30 is gonna stay L powered. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Who cares what engine you put in there... as long as youre still driving a Datsun. I love seeing swaps. The only time hate swaps is when someone starts one, realizes its too much work, and then gives up to either sell the car or junk it. As long as you can finish what you start, keep doin' whatcha doin'. Car looks great. Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks.....that pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole swap thing. To each their own. If everybody did the same thing, it would be a pretty boring world now wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Not a lot of V8 280zx's that I've seen atleast but that chevy looks awesome in there. Needs a crossram intake with quad webers mmm. Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah, quad webers would be cool.....expensive, but very cool. Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well....so closes the book on this car. Tomorrow it goes to get the engine and tranny pulled, and then it's to be traded off. Since I've gotten the s30 I've had less and less motivation to finish this car. That and to be honest, I really wasn't feeling the V8 vibe anymore. So it's going to a new home and I'll be bringing a 72 521 home in it's place. It was a good run with the ZX, but all good things must come to an end. It's on to other cars (and trucks) that deserve some love. Quote Link to comment
