Sorry about the delay, sheared driveshaft bolts, front and rear wheel bearings, half-axles, two starters, two fuel pumps, three alternators will keep you busy. This build taught me a valuable lessonIF YOU BUY PARTS FROM LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES, IF YOUR PARTS DONT HAVE A NAMEBRAND OR STRAIGHT FROM THE DEALER, YOU WILL BE BROKE DOWN, OFTEN!
The car runs very very well but I already ordered the parts for a performance top end rebuild(roller cam, roller lifters, roller rockers,ect.). A hydraulic tappet cam suffers during break in big block cheverolets period. Put magnets on your oil pan, break one in, pull the cam out, you'll see. I will take a video tomorrow, 3 hp laptops crashed in one month , so i havent had a home pc.

[Oh Em Zee]

Thanks for the update shannonferguson2000
The second i got the email update, I got excited all over again for an update
Hope you have better luck soon, because you've been through a hell of a lot!

[canadian booster]

sheared the driveshaft bolts, holy s*** *lol*

[RubyRed300ZX]

OK! That was just a tease. We need lots more! I had actually forgotten about your project.

[300ZXttZMAN]

+1 ^ We need lots more video's... High quality video's if possible.

Don't tease us.

[DCaff300ZX]

COOL, nice to see that the 454 Z still lives and breathes...and a heavy breather she is!
MORE!!!

[shannonferguson2000]

Well the monster may be finally put to sleep, 3 cams eaten, 2 transmissions, endless overheating issues, I think Im about over it. She would make a great trailer whore with the big block but that was never my intention.I want to drive. If I had about 20 grand laying around maybe I would take another run at it(LS9,LS3) maybe full forged roller but this car has become the most stressfull project ever. F**k!!!

[whiteknight52]

The Devil Z wanted its Nissan engine back. It rejected the transplant it sounds like.

[DCaff300ZX]

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard Chevy guys lamenting busted bottom ends, ravaged cams, and overheating issues...I'd be SO frickin' rich...
Feel for ya though man, you had a lot of time and love into that monster and deserved a better run.

[SarahLovesHer300zx]

Well damn...

[canadian booster]

it was one hell of a good attempt!

hay, itsa sarah!
