Gents,

a guy at work wants to sell me his ls1 with 50,000 miles on it for 2,000 would you do it?


Thanks,

I would buy that motor and put it in...


If I owned a corvette that needed a motor



Rod.

 

Rods utter distaste for bastardizing aside , I'd say it's a pretty good deal if it's a complete motor AND it's still in decent shape. And if he's got a tranny to go with it thats double the goodness.

 

I'm thinking about putting it in my Z

 

Thats where I would put it too

 

What Year Is The Ls1?

 

You also want the wiring harness & ECU. Without these to go with it, you'll be in a world of hurt.

 

[QUOTE=jfairladyz]Rods utter distaste for bastardizing aside ,

Rod's not the only one LOL. I have a distaste for bastardizating just about any car for that matter. But mainly if Z's are tainted with.

 

if it makes the car better in the eyes of the owner then I say there's no harm in it I'm going all Nissan on my 260. But when I finally get another 280zx I'll probably do a little cross-breeding with her. Bigger car needs a bigger motor

 

all nissan on your 260... you know... you can keep it a 260 (2.6 litter inline 6) with an RB26... you taechnically wouldnt be lieing about anything its still a 260... just with turbos fuel injection DOHC and a whole lot more potential... but meh... you dont have to tell people that... just taht.. its a 260 z a 2.6 litter inline 6...

 

^ Thought about that. But I really dont want to dump that much money into this project. Maybe that much overall, but not just on the engine. I'm gonna stick with the L26/SU combination for this one. I might go with an F54 block though, if I can find one close enough to me that I can go pick it up Or if I find someone willing to ship a short block.

I still prefer the 280zx over the S30's so I'm going to wait til I get my hands on another one of those before I go all crazy with engine swaps or anything.

 

i founded a Z needs bumpers (front and rear) its a state away... south... and its for sale 3K its acutally on hybriz.org its got the 3.1L stroker kit done with 5spd tranny guy look emo though... lol. i dont know what you think?

that guys been on HybridZ for a little while. He's talked plenty about that car on there. As long as he's not selling it because he blew the motor up then I'd say you're getting you'd definitey get your money's worth.

Part of his descriptions says "screwed cam". I'm not sure if he means the cam is damaged...but if thats the only problem with the car then go for it. Check it out first of course. You can get a new cam and all the misc. parts to go with it for around $500.

 

my dad got a new head for his 280... so i can just jack his old cam cause its a performance one any who...
