Default 05 350z LS 6.2 Vortec swap

Alright fellas I’m gearing up for a swap need some advise on which swap kit gives you the best bang for buck Sikky.LOJ or fueled I got a decent 05 enthusiast that I picked up awhile back for a good deal and I just happen to have a solid complete 6.2 l92 that just dying to be put into something..I’m pretty new to the Z scene but I’ve been a car guy for years mostly ran Rx7’s so I’m not a complete nubby don’t wanna cheap out but at the same time still gotta make the house payment so I’m thinking of shooting for a budget of 7/8 k not including motor because I already own that .. side not this will not be a daily driver but I would like a clean install and a “factory look” and I live in a hot climate so Working A/C is a must

Honestly, most of the hardcore Z guys have moved on to other things - like families, mortgages and "sensible cars" that carry shid.

Most of the postings nowadays is "my car is broke" stuff.

You might check out hybridz.org ..... lots of V8 and other swap stuff there. Mostly S30 related but I think I saw some 33 stuff at one time or another.

Not too many LS swaps in these parts ... You may want to look into the G35 realm - seems like 'some' of those guys do LS swaps.

If you move forward be sure to document your progress -

I just started looking into this as well. The LOJ kit seems awesome, in that the full kit makes it plug and play. But its almost $10,000 lol that's as far as I got so far. Make a build thread if you go through with it.

I'd say got with LOG. Grass Roots Motorsports used LOJ for their swap. There's a couple articles on it and youtube videos.
