Have loved Z cars for 40+ years but never worked out where I could own one. Been an old school chevy hot rod guy my whole life. Picked up a 2003 350z, working on an LS swap. Should be fun.

 

Once a "Chevy hot rod guy"..

Still a Chevy hot rod guy. Just a different chassis.

Welcome.

 

Thanks. It’s an LS3 495 Hp 6L80e paddle shifted.

 

COOL

 

Sweet pics! Can't wait to see this build! Keep us posted.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Without a doubt the best newb introduction on this site ever. Welcome and congratz! Post up pics when you get the Nitrous installed!

 

which kit are you using? are you going to keep the shorty headers or go long tube?

 

Welcome to the forum. I'm a Chevy hot rod guy as well and plan on doing an LS swap for my Z if the engine decides to die.

What's the story on those motor mounts? Why did you go with the 6L80 instead of a T56, T6060, etc? Are you going to drag the car or do road / track duty?

 

Using the fueled racing kit, complete. Long tube. Car was originally automatic. Went 6L80e w/paddle shift,(new one just released) will handle 650ft lbs tq. Will be a semi-daily driver with some 1/4 mile bracket racing .the auto will be more consistent. Have a 502/T56 super magnum in the chevelle when I want to row my own.

 

Not running Nitrous.

It'll be fun, no doubt!

 

Got parts for the weekend

 

welcome and good looking build. There is afew ls swapped 350Zs in the south , one in Mobile Al and I'm just across in Florida

 

Fuel pump modded with a walbro 255, corvette filter regulator, return line, -6 stainless line. Engine and tranny built up, wiring harness installed, installed

 

Progress, headers, remote oil filter, driveshaft, etc installed. WIRING next

 

It’s been a while since I updated. BEEN a bit crazy with the covid crazyness. Still working everyday here so this is a night and maybe weekend project. D/S installed. Shifter, etc. FABBED up ECU mount where the pax airbag goes. HIt wall with the a/C system. After fighting it a while, I ripped out everything and installed a vintage air gen 4 universal system. Had to ditch the GM compressor for a dirty dingo low mount mini sanden . RAdiator and hoses mounted.MADE all A/C hoses, installed and vacuum tested. Getting closer

 

Very clean install! BeCool radiator? This is going to be a lot of fun.

 

CSF radiator

 

She’s done

 

Awesome Build! Are you using a 350z style radiator or did you need to buy one that is specific to the LS engine? Ive got a 2008 350Z that i want to swap out to an LS in the future, but it needs a radiator now. So wasnt sure if i should just get something cheap to fix now or, if im able to use the same radiator in the future with the LS build, i may just go with quality like you did.

Thanks!
