Awsome! Have a stock 78 280 except for sway bars, stiffer motorsport springs, Tokico 5 adjust. shocks on 225/60 14's. Yea, old school. Is whole driveline Corvette? What did you do for that sweet positive lock rearend?
And that is how its done, in both departments lol. car looks good, sounds good. oh did you have to change much to get that motor to fit into the car? jk lol nice job with it know it took a lot of wrench time. how many case's of beer tho to get it all to line up rite? lol
You would only have to change is the trans and shaft. People have been doing this for years swap out the that stock straight 6 for that chevy 350 or 355 small block
They call them Scarabs after the mod not hard to do might need an extra pair of hands now and then but the 280 is a easy car to start working on everything is right there out in the open, only down side is if it gets rust you have to get it fixed asap or she's done for very prone to body rot.
@AlienBlood When someone asks a dumb question like that, you say "Not at all. Just drill a hole in the oil pan, then add some water to the gas tank for more torque" ;D
very nice 280z.. im getting a 280zx tommorow for a new project king of simmilar to the one u have done.. i wanted to ask.. does a ls1 engine fit right into the car or does the car need some cutting up to do?
It has a serpentine belt driven super charger because he didn't have enough hood clearance for a normal super charger application. its ran similar to a turbo just belt driven. so before you go calling some one a dumb ass make sure your rite....
@MHSRULES12 And just exactly does the V8 make them "handle like crap". when the weight difference between the drive train is less than that of the weight of a full tank of gas.
What a disgrace... I am sorry. Just ruins the very basis of a 280! Just call it a datsun v8...you ruin the name ruin the balance of the car. i dunno.. that just sounds like it's in pain too. beggin for mercy...

Turbine's are ass monkey engine's. There expensive as fuck unreliable and break down more than Brittney Spears. Parts are hard to find need constant tune ups and they are the MOST recalled engines in automotive history.
uhhh turbo motors like the one you have in your civic yes are unreliable cus the ricers that build them use bolt on parts and 8 times out of 10 do do any internals. but the 3sgte and the 2JZ-GTE do produce reliable power, yes they do need more care then a NA motor but they have different internal then the NA versions. the ricers that buy a tuned motor then beat the piss out of it by turning the boost x2 what it should be yes do blow the engines. but responsible tuning can yeild great power
Wait...what? Um....lol. I would agree that a Nissan/Datsun motor would be more classic, but it seems to me that they were trying to make a torque monster out of this one. You can't get the instantaneous torque from a Japanese motor that you can from a pushrod American one on average.
just adding in,because since the 240's engine bay has alot of room,it was pretty good plan to try out the v8 swap really,i dont really mind its good,but for me i like to keep the original,but hey,why not buy another one and swap it for a V8.
wow man, your a "ficklefackin" idiot with that statement, torque monster? uhhh, yeah, and HP too, that motor has waaaaaaaay more potential than the stock 2.8, your statement is like saying middle school football is greater than the NFL. monkey's I.Q.>>>than ficklefackle's.
1UZ/V8's are a common swap in the 280z's. Its a nice swap, As old cars and v8s go together. I mean. If it was a skyline then i would just laugh at a V8 swap.
Lets see.. we can spend 12k or so restoring a 280zx and throwing a rice engine in thats going to cost more than a V8.. when the potential the V8 has is more cost effective and faster.

I mean, you really have no idea.. unless you live in Japan.. please stop typing before you embarrass yourself.
Hey, I realize you're a fan of the car, but please get your models corrected. This is a 240z, not a 280z. Both cars are great, but this one is smaller and MUCH lighter than the 280z.
I have been looking for a 240Z so I can do the same thing

@suckmybass To modify the engine? A Z, with the right parts, can hold virtually any engine.. A lot of guys have been dropping ls1's into a Z.
This is Z's in general, but the 280z is the most reliable, considering thicker steel, and, generally, less rust. Join a z forum to learn more.
