Doing some work to the LS1 Z
So HUGE HUGE HUGE weekend! Basically I found another Z that was cleaner so in goes my swap. I basically need to get suspension and motor in and it heads to paint. While the motor is out I want to install a FAST 92, contact me if you have a lead on one and also a UD pulley. Any other ideas while the motor is out?
Here are a few pics of my long weekend!
Looks like the 70s....
Swapping rear ends:
New home for v8:
LS1:
Myself n Joe:
Plans are to take a break for a day or two. Order a few more parts and maybe get the motor in by mid next week. I am going to pull the intake and TB off and sell them if anyone is looking for a ls6 intake and port n polished TB. New set of plugs needs to go in and do the UD pulley and new belt.
Here are some more pics:
Sunday Night:
Almost done breaking her down:
Word to the wise....when pulling the LSx out of Zs like it is a F-body....headers and coil packs should be removed. I didn't do this at first and it slowed me up big time. Looks cool though right? =):

Sprayed my intake this weekend. This is what it looked like when it was done:
This looks way better than I thought it would! I really really do like it!
What do you guys think?

Just a quick question...
About 4 or 5 months ago did a guy in a dark blue jeep pull up next to you in westwood on the corner of Kinderkermack and oldhook road and ask you "whats in that!? I used to have a 260Z!"
If so that was my pops! ![Very Happy](http://www.njfboa.org/forums/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) He came straight home and told me about it! If thats you what a small world!

The car is going to be red so that is the reason I left the front not touched..plus the grey help it jump off the black.

Ok after d*cking around last weekend and not doing a damn thing. I am happy to report that:
It is back in!!
Trans back in!
But, now the gear stick doesn't come up in the same position as the later s30s
Off to a good home!
So I tried getting the pulley off and no luck...so I have to use a puller during the week. Also I need to change the intake this week and finish the brake lines. I am going to have to run a new rear line so I can plumb in the wilwood prop valve in. I am sure I will find a few more while I am at it deals but at least the motor is back in!
