Hey all, I know this isnt the nissan or datsun forum, but i figured that you all know the most about small block chevy conversions. I have found a 50% restored 1978 Datsun 280Z roadster 5sp. It has a beautiful body, but then interior and the drive train need quite a bit of work. I've pretty much ditched the sleeper camaro idea, and have found that i can sell the maro this summer and make quite a bit of money off of it. Instead i am considering the idea of purchasing this datsun and dropping in an LT1 or LS1 + 6 sp tranny and possibly rear end? I've found small block conversion kits, but most feature carbed 350's and 400's. The stock I6 has fuel injection but what will i need to do as far as oxygen sensors, computer, Air Conditioning (has stock), power stearing and the like... I know i'll probably get some negative comments about asking for help on a Jap car, but hey what's a guy to do?

go to www.hpsalvage.com and go to either the links page or the swap tips page(i dont remember which) and go through the links, there are a couple pages there that have what your lookin for. if i remember correctly you can go to the member cars or project cars (which ever the page is called) and there is an old datsun with an lt-1 in it...
