You need the wire harness, ECU, transmission, engine of course, and the fuel pump. so you will need an electric fuel pump that putsout at least 50psi and 255lph for the turbo engine, i would try and find a 60 psi. and of course a high pressure fuel filter and larger high pressure hoses, the carb 240z only runs 7psi so the hoses will blow, and the filter will also blow apart. but this should be a cool swap. I put an LT1 corvette engine in one a long time ago, had it posted in here with pics, but it would have been better with a nismo turbo instead. mike PS I know this is old, but I have some guys asking about this and I told them to join this forum and search for this swap! I was surprised that there was not more on this swap with some pics!!!

OK its been a while since I was last on here, I sold my 1974 260Z and me and my son just got a 1995 240SX. We have also located a Sylvia front end and several different JDM Skyline engines, trans, ECU, and engine wire harnesses. But does anyone know a good link, or at least have the Skyline english version service manuals? Or has anyone on here built, or have a friend who has built one of these? madmike...

Last summer me and a buddy stuck a 1995 Z-28 LT1 into a 1972 240Z. we used LT1 Edit, (or you can use Tuner Cat) software with a lap top computer on this swap. We eliminated the VATS module (PASSKEY II, anti theft device that shuts the fuel injection off and not just the fuel pump like rumors have it), we also re-adjusted the speedometer (have to install electronic speedometer and gauges) turned off the evap-purge, electric smog pump. And sanderson hot rod headers! these are the vette style (ram-horn) sanderson coated headers! I sold my 260Z because I did not think the frame was strong enough (after I fixed the rusted out drivers side) to swap the 1997 LT1 engine I have in my garage sitting on a stand. I am trying to decide what I should swap it into? maybe a 300Z turbo body? Or back to another S-10 truck swap, with 4X4? What do you think? madmike... ps get the Helms factory service manuals, the others dont stand up for wire diagrams!!!

Check out http://www.lincoln.com I have the Lincoln SP125 it's a Mig welder (wire feed) and runs on 110v. It also can be used with or without gas. I only use gas as it welds with less splatter, and cleaner welds by far. I use C25 which is 75% Co2 and 25% Argon which welds steel, Iron very good! I had a rusted out driver side frame rail. I have blue prints someplace around here for it, but you will need one for the other side. My prints that I made are for what is called a "Doubler" frame. Its an exact fit frame that slips over the old one, then you weld it together. Mine worked real good. I work on aircraft and we have to build these doubler frames all the time, thats where I learned to build them and I know they are as strong or even stronger than the factory one. They are easy to make, just strip everything off the frame (suspension, struts, bolts and stuff) measure it all, build it, slip it on and weld it together. I also built a new drivers side strut tower as that was also rusted out. I cut what was left of the old one off, and welded the new one in. This was on my 1974 260Z. Hope this helps. madmike...

I have never built a stroker 280 engine, but one of my friends has. In fact I have a post in the for sale section looking for a used Nissan diesel crankshaft. You use the longer stroke diesel crank in a 280 engine to give it more cubic inches and a longer stroke, this gives her quite a few more ponies and torque! I was hoping someone on here has built one of these and would give us some feedback on it. I will talk to my buddy some more on this and see how he does it. madmike...
