I just finished putting a rb20 in my 76 280z it was easy. If you have any questions please ask.

there is tons of info on hybrid z forum but good luck if you have a problem and need a answer. There are a few guys on that forum that think they are gods of the datsuns.. I don't have time for that.

first you need a rear sump oil pan thats the hard part. I had to make mine. which turned out great. I posted pics on the hybrid z but it was erased.

2nd you need a rb20det engine,trans,wiring harness and ecu

3rd a walbro inline fuel pump

4th intercooler,piping

5th sometime and BEER

THE WIRING WAS EASY AS HELL ,DON'T PAY SOMEONE TO DO THIS.

ANY MORON CAN DO THIS SWAP IT WAS EASY......

let me know if you need any help

The only parts I need at this point if I use the same motor and trans mounts,all I would need is the oil pan,oil pick up,and harness
