Default LS1 swap

Got a 03 350z I’ll be swapping a 5.7ls1 into. I’m using a new oem cd009(a) trans as I’ve heard they can hold great numbers and fitment is good. I’m jumping around to what company I want to get the swap kit from. I have removed the secondary firewall for a cleaner look but also to make some additional space. I could just not be looking in the right spot but I haven’t found any recent builds with a Ls swap so please post those if there are but if not and you have done this swap I’d love to ask some questions and get some opinions on which kit to use. Stay slidin

Don’t have to deal with transmission tunnel fabrication, shifter relocation, etc. plus heard the cd009 can handle upwards of 800hp and I’m gonna be half that for a while tell I rebuild the motor.

Hmm interesting. What swap kit did he use for the whole swap? Sikky? LOJ? ISR? That’s really my question is on the company I should use on the swap kit in whole.

hell this was at least 10 years ago, he wasnt very mechanically inclined but he sure could work some pdr tools., while me and another buddy, got the old motor out, he pulled every dent and ding out of my 350z at the time

i am lazy now, taking the vette to the shop for the radio display not working.... its mostly pop clips etc, but the radio is 4 components ..... would hate to be out an extra $500 if it wasnt the face that has the issue

I'm looking to go a similar route with the CD009 transmission. Did you find a solution for relocating the shifter?
