Message	Personally, I would go for a 240Z instead of a 280ZX. Lighter and much less complicated to work on. The V8 conversion has been done a million times and you can find a ton of resources to help you on the web. Here's a few good links to check out... Installing a V8 into your Z Also, you may decide to go the turbocharging route. You can do a full 30psi L28 engine that can produce over 400HP. You could spend anywhere from $5000 to over $10K depending on how safe you want to make it (water injection, etc) Take a look at the link below for more Turbocharging info... http://www.mame.mu.oz.au/salman/zturbo.html For a huge amount of info on V8 conversions and L28 conversions, go to Zhome.com and scroll down to the "Modifications for More HP" section (on the left). Here's a few pics of BOTH setups to wet your appetite... L28 Turbo Powered V8 Conversions ...or, ever think of doing a VG30DETT transplant? :-) Greg Dupree did, check out this video! http://www.300z.com/~seedyrom/300ZX/Hooters/gregdupree.mpg - if the link doesn't work, email SeedyRom and ask him to put it back up. Someone posted a video of a 240z (or maybe 280) with a Corvette LT1 engine swap. If you want it, email me. Good luck on the project. Don't do the CRX, keep it in the Z family! Hope this helps!
