LS7 in a 350Z!!!
After much searching, probably in all of the wrong places, I have come to the conclusion that there is no one, other that Chris Forsberg (sp) that has a V8 in their 350z, and thats a Nissan V8.
I just recently purchased a brand new, turn key LS7 V8 from my uncle who was interested in putting it in his new hot rod but ran out of funds and needed the money bad for more important expenses, so to make a long story short, I bought it from him in anticipation that I could find a shop or someone online that would either offer a kit to drop this motor in or could fabricate the necessary mounts to incorporate my brand new LS7 into my 2006 350Z.
Again, long story short, I can't find anyone that is doing this yet. For all I know, it may not even be possible.
Can anyone help here? I have a brand new Vet motor sitting in my garage with no engine bay to call home.

Not sure how she will react when she finds out she is american muscle trapped in a japanese body. Oh well, she will get over it.
Thanks again for this link, I will keep checking back on that site.

we have put ls1's in pretty much anything and everything lately (ie. Datsun 240z, Suzuki Samurai, S14), really not too difficult to do just a matter of how much money are you willing to throw at it. Most of the custom jobs that we have done the customer just pays us to make the custom motor mounts/transmission mount, driveshaft and other fabrication oriented jobs and they have been taking care of the wiring, etc, etc since that can get pretty costly quick with the amount of time involved
there are always a lot of variables to overcome when doing an off the wall engine swap but as said above, if you have the money and are willing to spend it these jobs can be accomplished by any good custom fabrication shop

If you have enough money.. you can pay just about any reputable shop to figure it out
I've been paid to do the following swaps:
LS1 into a 240Z
SBC into a 240Z
SR20DET into a 240Z
RB26DETT into a 240Z
20B into a FD RX7
13BT into a RX8
13BT into a Miata (current project)
2JZGTE into a 240Z (scheduled for next month)

Unless you use the t56 6 spd, modifications will be required. I have been over every aspect of this swap look at this, just some random thoughts from everyone.

ps: I pm'ed you with two shops on the eastcoast that can easily knock this job out for you!! there are quite a few ls1 powered imports around this way and more reputable shops than you can shake a stick at
