Some projects are about the car, like our Z06 Corvette. Some are about a task, like our Ramp Truck. Some are about a person, like our Rotary Miata.
This one, though, is about an engine. We've been rebuilding a $400 LS1 ourselves, with the goal of stuffing it into a car and going very, very fast. Finally, …
Color me interested.
Knifemarks on the seats... Where are you buying from?
This is gonna be fun
I'd prefer to see you do it to a RX-8, but this is a mighty nice consolation prize.
Am I starting to see that there may be a red colored car theme in the garage? Hay you do know that the red box behind the 350z would be fun with a LS in it.
Om nom LS powered 350z? I'm excited.

Probably craigslist from a buyer that only accepts cryptocurrencies.
I buy all my projects on Craigslist! I think the seats were the result of an angry ex, not a murderer, since there are no blood stains.
As far as the red box goes... don’t tempt me. A buddy of mind has an adapter plate that would let it bolt up to the stock 5-speed.
Are you leaving the automatic or changing it out? Great project by the way. 350's seem to be everywhere and are pretty cheap, even for nice running and looking cars that need little work.
Can't wait to see it in person!

If it makes you feel better I'm working on one.

Should be around $5-6k all in with an LS1 / T56.... Sorry for the multiple posts. Haven't figured out how to enter more than one pic with the new system
The automatic is going bye-bye, and I'm using a Tremec Magnum from American Powertrain in its place.
Greg, you're only 5 miles from my house. We may need to share notes. Also, I've got a pile of F-body LS1 parts and accessories that you may be interested in.
Interested in this build. Perhaps in honor of the seats, 350 Zlash.

I'm a Craigslist only buyer as well. All my projects are bicycles tho.
Red is a really sharp color in those z cars!
Will it now be a 570Z?
I don't know, coworker bought a 350Z to do a little autocross and seems more interested in track days now, and fully admits the car is too heavy among other things. I guess an LS would compensate for much.
350Z vs RX8 for LS swap=no contest...The 350Z isn't ugly.

Many, many years ago I was driving back down the beach after drag racing my cousin. He had stopped and was now running toward me down the beach. Turns out he had said the wrong thing to his crazy girl friend and she went after him with a hunting knife she had in her purse. When we got back to his car she was bent over stabbing the pristine drivers side bucket seat of his 64' Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe. She looked up at us with crazy blood lust eyes, but we eventually talked her down. They spent the rest of the night giggling and laughing in their tent. Go figure.
Color me jealous!

They both sound horrible and should both be swapped. 
A first-gen RX-7 on Enkei92s, an LS on an engine stand, a bottle of Miller High Life, and two faithful dogs. If Heaven isn't a lot like Greg Voth's garage, I don't want to go.
It's a pretty sweet setup. For the record, Greg lives around the corner from my parents. Other neighborhood highlights: A guy with 6? Sunbeam Tigers and a bunch of other old Fords. A guy that bought a TR6 brand new and has daily driven it ever since. The guy that invented this:

And, of course, our esteemed publisher Tim Suddard, who has this apart in his garage:
Yeah, it's no wonder I turned out the way I did growing up in that neighborhood.
