just bought a 1990 3300zx and want to put a ls1 in it
i just got a 1990 300 with 178,000 miles on it, its n/a and has an auto.
dont really want to do the tt swap, i want somethin different.
i was thinkin a ls1 with a 6 speed.
what am i lookin at money and fabrication wise?
im also open to other swaps aswell

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

$5000 is on the side of, I could do it for this amount, having a good deal of knowledge on swaps, having done several swaps, and having a good bit of skill for fabrication, and doing the wiring myself. And would probably require using an auto trans.
You're going to be considerably towards the "ouchmybankaccthurts" figure.
As far as better, depends on what you are after exactly, and how much you like working on the wedged in there VG30 compared to things being much easier to work on with an LSx in there.
17/26 mpg on the LS1 with 320 HP/ 345 FT lbs
16/22 mpg for the VG30DETT 300HP/280FTlbs

well im pprobly going to have to pay someone or a shop to do it.
i could probly do it but i dont want to take a chance of really fucking it up tho. its also my DD at the moment and will still be my DD when its swaped so i dont want the whole process takeing to long.
the n/a VG thats in it now is probly gona crap out on me soon anyway so im gonna go ahead and start saving for the ls1.
