Well the time has come to join the dark side. I loved my VQ being supercharger but just was not doing it for me. Like all of us I wanted more power and after weighing my options it was better for me to build an LS than build the VQ. So here is my progress so far...

 

Those heads look expensive

 

Street driven car? I'm curious how you're going to make it CA legal and how you're going to handle the guages etc....

Looks like a sweet project

 

subscribed...

 

Making it CA legal I'm pretty screwed..the gauges AEM infinity has a 350Z version that keeps your factory gauges working looking into that. If that does not work I might get the CD-7 dash.

 

Oh man, that is pure sex! Are you working out of a speed shop or your own place?

 

Power is power! Still a Z on the outside, good luck!

 

T56?

 

my car has a z on the side.......still count?

 

My work is letting me do it there we have a full machine shop so if I need custom parts we can cnc it..I am running a T-56 Magnum.

 

Real nice.. That's gonna be fun as hell to drive..

 

Man, you are made in the shade. I'm envious!

 

Sub'd. Looks like a great build so far.

 

I have some new pictures of the build..I wish I was farther ahead but like any build things pop up and modifications must be made.

The joys of wiring

Wanted to see how much space I have so I know how to make my intake

 

here is how my buddy ran his on his ls2 swap. if you wanted to change the look of the valve covers, you could look into Katech covers with coil relocation packs . also, what fuel rails are you using?




here is what the relocation pack makes it look like, i am going to cut the plugs off one day and solder the wires together so i can tuck it more under the fuel rail

 

That is a nice setup your friend has. The fuel rails are actually from ebay haha..but I stripped the ecoat and I hard anodized the rails and made my own cross over hose. I bought the Holley tall valve covers due to my comp cam rockers. That intake did he make himself or buy it?

 

a shop made the intake for him

 

Great build you got there! Wow! Whats the overall goal?

 

I would like to hit 500whp but reality its going to be 450-480whp I would guess. We will see what I hit. I am hoping to fire it up this week.

 

Made some more progress slowly chipping away at it.
