Re: 1986 nissan 300ZX-V8 Swap

The motor will start with just an intake and depending on clearance some shorty headers. Nitrous will of course need to be installed just cause I like it. For a trans I was planning on running a Muncie but due to cost a TH400 will be the trans of choice for now. The rear end is definitely an issue that I have a few ideas of. The mid 90's 300zx twin turbo rear will handle the power, its the axles that are the week point. There is a fella with an 800 hp 2jz swapped 300 on the stock lsd rear. He only roll races and the rear has held up so far. The chassis will be stiffened with a roll cage at minimum. The basic goal is to just get the motor and trans in and functional than go from there. I would be happy with just putting around this summer with that combination and next year working on the rear and chassis. Thanks all for the comments. I will keep you all updated as I go along.
