First off, i blew my vq about a month ago on nitrous .. SO i am going to do my dream build with my car.. i was planning on doing an ls1 swap to it anyways but not so soon, but why not use the BEST excuse of my vq blew and do it now anyways..


BLOCK:
ls1 5.7L block
little info on it, it has 2200 miles on the block and only aftermarket in the block are the ARP rod bolts, other than that the block is stock.







HEADS:

Patriot stage 2 317 heads with ls6 intake and ls1 throttle body. comp hardened push rods and as of now i am still searching for the right cam. I also have blue billet fuel rails.

TRANSMISSION:

t56 tranny, i am still undecided on what clutch to use

I am going with the sikky conversion kit for this swap, and also will be buying the sikky long tube headers, sikky power steering lines, and also the sikky master cylinder conversion kit.

I will be posting pictures up of the progress and also alot of updates to what i have done

CURRENTLY:

I am currently parting out ALL the parts on my 350z that i dont need for this build, i have alot. I have full exhaust, headers, test pipes, ignition system, grounding kit, manifold, engine parts, fuel rail, tranny, accessories, you name it and i will see if i have it to sell..

thanks for your time and reading!! hope people look forward to the build, I know i cant wait to get it done.. OH and we all know how builds go but my est date to get it "done" is by march or april 2013

 

Fix your pics....in for the win, even though I don't like the swap.

EDIT:

Yep working now!

Good luck man

 

king is that better? they are both showing now

 

thanks, excited to get this going!!

 

Build your Transmission if you are going to the drag strip. Mine broke at 400 whp. The T56 is a great tranny, but don't under estimate the LS1.

I rebuilt my T56 with Dodge Viper syncros and main shaft. I also got it all kryo treated(spelling?). Anywho, It's now good for up to like 800 whp.

I have a Monster clutch btw. If you need any info on a T56 build let me know. I'll give you some pointers.

 

Well i am sellign the ls1 block, i bought a 6.0l iron block and i am doing a 408 stroker... i bought an eagle 4 inch stroke crank and eagle 6125 rods and JE pistons (i dont have the part numbers for compression and other info), also doing arp rod bolts, arp main studs, and arp head studs.. the heads are the same though. but its now officially a 408 stroker.. cam is still udecided at the moment, but i am leaning towards a lg motorsports cam..

i will post up pictures tmrw evening of the crank, pistons, block, and whatever else..

note: i have vq parts, and in general abunch of z parts that need sold so hmu!!

 

im def needing a tranny and built rear end lol, i will be making around 550 on motor

 

I will be taking everything to the machine shop in a week or 2.. also will be ordering pistons after they hone the block.. i am going to have Schmidt competition racing put my engine together. i picked up my brand new cam a few days ago, its a bullet cam, 242/248 with a .629 lift.. i will have pictures of everything up on here in a few and also tmrw.. cam, rods, block,heads etc.. also got the interior all gutted, just cutting away the back wall where the speakers sit and such, ill post pictures of progress on that too

 

interesting build!, looking forward for results!

 

Subscribed. Good luck with the build.

 

Thanks man! Appreciate it. Trying to get it done by mid summer but i dont want to rush anything. Ill be here to help out and give advice if someone is doing an ls build as well. Always try to help z people

 

I just realized you're not too far from me. It's rare that I see people on the forum from Ohio or Indiana.

 

Yeah im 30 min north of indianapolis. But you are right theres hardly anyone from indiana or ohio haha

 

Here is a picture of the 4.000" eagle stroker crank and the 6125 eagle rods, i am NOT using the pistons, still undecided due to the fact im getting my block honed, but i know i am going 12:1 compression..





Picture of the Patriot stage 2 317 heads...








Bullet racing cam, ill post a picture of the specs..



Cam Specs



Billet Fuel rails.. im going to be running -8 and -10 fuel lines with a Walbro 485 pump



ls6 intake with ls1 throttle body, i am going to get the intake port matched to my heads and the ls1 TB ported until i get the money for fast 102 TB and intake

 

in for le **** build!

 

 

nice pics! imho stay away from sikky, far too much mods to the kit have to be made to justify the pricing.

 

Good luck with the build. If you have any questions just let us know..

 

What kit would you recommend?

 

Love watching how fast the updates are on new threads! The the hard part happens and they slow way way down good luck!
