Alright what engines could i put in a 280zx or a 280z. I heard that there was a Jaguar v12 that would go in it, and a chevy 351. If you know any more tell me them and can you give me the hp on those two.

 

Lots of engines can go into z's or zx's. Yes, the chevy 350 can go in, there is a kit somewhere for a jaguar v12, SR26DETT, and a whole lot of other nissan engines. I have even seen radical custom z's with a viper v10 and a chevy 454. As far as HP, not all 350's are created equal. You can always stroke it...always redo internals...hp can vary anywhere between 250 and 600. $$ = HP. As far as a jag...no idea.

 

one of these days, probably far far away, my 260 will have an e46 m3 engine. now where's that lottery ticket?

74 260Z Almost Turbo
Tickets To Date: 0

 

ya...i got my letters mixed up inside my head. RB26DETT......my bad. Good save.

 

Here's a link to the Hybrid Z site were you will find lots of engine conversion info http://www.hybridz.org

A couple of guys are working on the Jag V12 convesion but many (hundreds?) have completed the SBC (Small Block Chevy) conversion. You can buy the conversion manual at JTR http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Datsun_Z_V-8.html

Here's some pics of my 1971 240Z based 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO replicar with a 365 HP 327 Chevy in it http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...page_id=236622
