it's been done, but as I'm sure you guessed it's all custome, motor mounts, driveshaft, trans mount (actually the ford T-5 shared many parts with the Z31 T-5 so a ford T-5 might fit the Z31 crossmember? but I am pretty sure the output shfts differ but you can get the neapco adapter for the diff end to use the 1310 spicer u-joints, also the z31 is injected so if you were gonna go carbed you'd need a lower pressure fuel pump, I believe for the sbf with a custom sradle crossmsmber you can clear the steering column, hybridz.org would be the authority but mostly S30's there

Interesting I think i'm goin to go thru with this. Would I have to change the Diff. since theres a little more torque and wouldn't those axels go as well or is that not a problem. Also if i use a carb all i have to do is get her runnin in there and it will work no wires no electronics? Keep this thread going i'm willing to make a move on doing this cause this car isn't doing it for me. (need a little more power and adding a TT is not a real east task as i'm reading)

thanx

I don't think the diff would be a problem because z31s have a lot of torque to. My friends z31 was 421rwhp and his diff was fine, but traction might start to be an issue.

Ya, traction won't be an issue i just came across a couple M/T cheater Slicks in a busted down tire shop in the ghetto so i picked em up for free. They look brand new,but is there torque boxes on the car like a 5.0?or is there somthing that will allow the axel to not ripe from my car when I take off lol.
