What parts can I use from a mid 80 300?

I've got TONS of 300zs at my local junk yard. Since I am still not familar with the available swaps what can I use from those 300s?

I've seen nice dashes, seats, brakes...etc

Nooblar and I went and got some nice seats for his Z. Anything else? I've seen too many nice dashes there, no cracks etc...There is even a turbo z.

Seats, tranny, diff, some suspension... If it's the same dimensions... it will prolly fit. Not much of the interior will direct swap tho.

Thanks Nismo.

I heard the dif could work but had no idea the trans would bolt up.

What suspension stuff?

How about that turbo motor? Looks like it may fit. Also I assume its got a
t-5, right?

There are also 4 240s there too.

well, the tranny bellhousing is not the same. L-series and VG do not have the same bolt pattern. As far as the back half of the tranny I don't know. Maybe they are the same.

You can look into a 5-lug swap. Frank280zx did a brake upgrade using Z31 parts but his are euro spec. My Z31 parts pile looks different so I still have to see if it all bolts in the same.
