okay so ive been doing some searching and all ive been able to find are post about RB26DETTs in 240,260 and 280Zs.. but i cant seem to find anyone whos transplanted one in a 280ZX.. reason being is im looking to do this swap sometime in the near future.. and i just need some info on this subject. one of my friends will be getting his hands on a RB26DETT and a 5 speed RWD tranny from a RB25DET already attached to it.. so if anyone out there has already done this swap or know someone who has and has pictures or any helpful info on this id really apreciate it......

But I sure would like to. Its not to common to see engine swaps in a ZX, be the first to chart this new frontier. If I had the cash to do it I would definetly be on the ball with working it out over the winter and having it running for the summer, of this there is no doubt
