Might even put it through the steel shot if me and my friend can b able to use the car lift today and just take it out the shield from the bottem and replace the rear structs at the same time.

try www.car-parts.com I just did a search for you...

It doesn't say turbo on that line, but when I put in turbo engine, it came up w/ that one & one in Pueblo. I have family in Aurora & I've been to several junk yards there... There were plenty of 280zx's there 2 years ago... tho times are changing.

now thats what i would do get an lt1 or ls1 from a caprice or a vette. Then get the conversion book from www.jagsthatrun.com thats what i'm doing and its less money to get the horses u want than a turbo.

No, no, no.....My L28 n.a. is plenty fast without the turbo. Even "it" will throw you back, if you need it to...

Stick with the original engine and see what it'll do...

Well I'm more of an stright 6 or boxer 6 not really a fan of v8s. But yea i'll drive it around with the n/a L28 for awhile then once I get use to that I'll switch it to the L28et and begin from there.
