Default Customer's 350z LS3 Swap
Starting the New Year off right with an LS3 swap!

Just started on this build yesterday and it's going to be a good one. Make sure to keep checking back for updates. Lots of pictures to come.

Final shots of everything all buttoned up.

Nice. Going to be a stock LS3? Or will it be modded?

We are using the SIKKY kit. They call it the LSX kit because the blocks are the same for all of them. So, it will bolt up just fine.

Loaded weight is around 3,800 pounds and besides having the dash most of the interior is gutted out. Brakes are bigger, but still light and of course lightweight wheels. Cage is going to add a good bit of weight back into it as well.

Everything disconnected.

Flipped to install the pan and mounts from SIKKY.

Swapping on an awesome Wilwood/SIKKY combo and you can see the difference compared to the stock setup.

Waiting on a few more parts right now, but the build so far is going very well.

After the cage obviously we will be adding weight, but close to 3,000 as possible is where we would like to be.
