Re: zx to z motor swap
destrega: which parts are discontinued from the '83 ZX turbos? i remember hearing something about the hydraulic lifters or similar item, but what is it exactly?

Re: zx to z motor swap
That's it. The hydralic lifters are discontinued, and they are known to go back pretty quickly. (100K miles)
You'll need the complete setup to do a swap easily. Engine block and head and all attached components. Wiring harness, computer. Unique components include exhaust manifold, intake tubing, distributor. The starter and alternator don't nessisarily have to be from a turbo, but you probably knew that. You can do whatever you want with the guages. Maybe just mark what the wires went to and then you can buy some aftermarket boost gauge, oil pressure ect. http://www.zipcon.net/bleach/pages/zcar/zlogo.jpg |
