Anyone still making a kit or can make a kit to put the Infinity 4.5 V8 into the 300zx z32?I would really like to get all the mounts and the bell housing for the z32's 5spd.

I want to TT it but want to play with this part of it myself. I just want to be able to put the engine and box in without having to fabricate anything myself.

Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated

CheersTobias

I'm doing a group buy on the transmission plates, today is the last day!! See the other thread on here. Works out ~$650 + shipping if you want one.Will have mounts to sell too as soon as I have the jig done, just the prototypes on the car at the moment.-John

Would really be interested to know when a kit could be finished?

Wasnt wanting to buy bits and pieces and hope for the best that they all eventually get made. I want to buy everything in one hit so I know I can start the project straight away.

Keep me informed of your progress, cheersTobias

Look for 450zxtt on here, he has a twin turbo VH45 in his Z32. His shop (AXE I think) did it in (or near) Atlanta.

When you make your mounts is it possible to sink the engine further into the bay so that the maifold doesnt stick out as far as Slims?

I dont think thats possible...The VH45 is simply a LOT taller thanthe VG.

IF you dont want the manifold to stick up you need to make a new manifold.

A kit would be great!

Can anyone do a write up of any and all things necessary for just the swap into a Z32?
