Sikky 350z/G35 LSX swap
 
18 Attachment(s)
We are happy to announce the 350z/G35 LSX kit is finally complete! This kit will allow you to bolt any LS series engine into your 350z and G35. No cutting or welding required. We decided it would be a good idea to show everyone just how easy this install is with our kit so we took a fairly stock G35 and began the install. Here are some pics and info to better show and explain this setup for those interested.

Attachment 428566
Here is the donor car, prepped and ready to go with the OEM engine and trans removed.

First step pull the stock GTO oil pan

Attachment 428569
Here is the new high capacity Sikky oil pan. Prep the new pan by pre installing the gasket. This pan is equipped with windage tray and trap doors to eliminate any oiling issues associated with the factory GM pans.

a new driveshaft comes in the sikky swap, but it does not offer any electronics plus alot more. So i still believe the Hinson Motorsports conversion kit is the only complete kit around.

At this point it comes to price and availability. If this hardware kit is cheaper than Hinsons then just get the electronics from Hinson!
