Z33Art V3.0-LS1/TH400 Swap
As many of you may know, I have been working on swapping an LS1/TH400 into my Z. I figure it is time to start a thread as I approach completion of the project in the next couple weeks.
To start I want to say that I cannot tell anyone how much this swap cost. I did 100% of the custom work myself and used parts that may not be the same as someone considering this swap would want. I also choose the LS1 because I was able to find one I was comfortable purchasing. I also choose the Th400 over the six speed for ease of installation and I because I live near a drag strip.
Parts Breakdown:
1) 2001 5.7L LS1
2) TCI Built TH400 w/Valve Body
3) TCI Torque Converter w/3600 rpm Stall
4) TCI Flexplate
5) Driveshaft Shop Custom Driveshaft
6) B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter
7) Electromotive TEC GT Standalone ECM
8) Electromotive Standalone Direct Fire Ignition Units
9) Derale Transmission Cooler
10) Howe Custom Double Pass Radiator
11) Summit Racing Crank Dampner
12) Moroso Coolant Expansion Tank
13) Canton Modified Oil Pan
14) Jantzer Performance Throttle Body
15) FAST fuel rails
16) Speedhut Tachometer
17) 350z Factory Alternator/Power Steering Pump/Sensors
18) Summit X-Pipe
19) Moroso Spiral Flow Mufflers
20) Custom Headers
21) Magnecor Ignition Wires
As of right now I am not doing any internal to the motor. Over winter I am looking to do a cam and an intake manifold. Now on to pictures!

Finished the driver side header but will only be able to get about half way on the passenger side since I'm short on tubing and bends. I will post pictures later of the driver side header. I'm really glad I got the hard one out of the way first. It will make the passenger side header seem like a breeze.
Going to switch over to finishing up my intake, wiring and mounting the alternator in the mean time while I wait for the tubing to come in.
