Originally posted by coconutt View PostToo long of a process just to have a sitting car in the garage when I can just get the engine rebuilt and not worry about smog, and be back on the road enjoying driving again.
For 1UZ swap, I'd need (or want)
Engine (including all smog/emissions parts)
350Z trans
Trans adapter
Clutch/flywheel
Harness conversion
Mount kit
Custom driveshaft
MK1 Supra rear/Dana from Volvo/ or Ford 8.8
Custom headers (or modified stock) (90% sure will fail from state ref)
Can't think of what else I'm missing but with all that, the brake booster would have to be deleted as well and I won't mount the engine further forward for that.
For F20,
Engine/trans and smog/emissions parts again
Upgrade Clutch/flywheel while I'm at it
Custom harness
Mount kit
STOCK HEADER OK
Custom driveshaft
At least rebuild stock rear and new LSD
Again, missing misc parts to have but those are the key things I'd need.
With a rebuild I can haul the engine and get it to a rebuilder, clean up the bay etc etc while the engine is out, and pick up the engine when finished to bolt it back up and go from there. Be back on the road much faster than a swap and enjoy driving everywhere.
PS: Please do not account for my fast building skills.Dude... My nissan has like a v8, man.

The one thing NYS does right: they don't "smog" check cars.
Might be looking at a '95 Q45 after work for shits and grins. Could pick it up for peanuts and have a comfy cruiser...BB6 Prelude . . E36 ///M3 . . VA WRX Limited . . 1969 Nova
