Re: My "new" car
when i wanted a z a couple years back i used to frequent hybridz.org (i think thats the site)...
the coolest swap i had seen, beside the RB and 2JZ was a GN 3.8 turbo with a corvette IRS. with your resources you could do better than the cookie cutter SBC swap.

Re: My "new" car
The thing is I really want to go with a v8 though mainly for that nice sound 
engines of choice in order
ls2
ls1
lt1
rb26
That is the list I will go through when it comes time to drop an engine in but $$$ will play a big factor as this is just my daily beater my s2k is my real race car and any $$$ i put in this car takes away from the s2k

Re: My "new" car
I always debated what to put in my 280Z and always had a 13b in the back of my head. You should see the room in the engine bay after that. You could fit another 13b inside there. Instead I just picked up a T4 60-1 and some other things for it. Oh check out Hybridz.org and thats have everything covered front to back about swapping ---- into Z's. Motorsportauto.com has huge selection of stuff and the flares that you want. It's where I got mine. They carry alot of really nice carbon fiber body parts for it...hatch,hood and flares.

Re: My "new" car
Is that original paint? From the pics it looks beautiful. If it is, I say (as if you really want my opinion or anyone else's here :P) keep the paint and just focus on the motor...
anyways, kudos on finding a beautiful Z!

Re: My "new" car
no the guy who had it before painted it in his garage, it is original color but not original paint
it looks that good from 5 feet away but when you are up close you can see some runs and spots where dust got in it

Re: My "new" car
If you need any help on the LSx swap let me know. I have a ton of information in my head about those motors. We are talking about doing a tube framed LS series motor to go ice racing with next year. I work with a guy that has about 4 of them in his garage. He said the biggest problem is the rearend, but if you find all the crap from a 280 you will fine.
