PROJECT LS1 280Z V8 Conversion
Ryan and I have started the conversion of a '76 280Z to a LS1 engine with a T56 6-speed transmission.
I promised Ryan if he graduated from the Naval Academy I would have his 1976 Datsun 280z car restored.
He graduated in 2009... This is a history of a never ending journey....

Well its been a bit since I posted any changes, mainly they have only been minor.
Ryan and I mounted the ODB2 connector and cleaned up a few things.
Found a few things that I didn't like that was done on the electrical, so I had to fix those.
But the 280Z Ls1 V8 is loaded back up and ready to get completed.
The body work, the exhaust with the electrical cut-over bypass, the 2002 Camaro gas tank retro fit.
Front and rear glass...

The load times were affected with all the pictures so I had to split them up onto a separate page.
