I just wanted to say hello and that I'm looking forward contributing to this site. As a member of another site, http://www.hybridz.org/ I was challenged by a member there to consider using a 500" Cadillac engine for my Datsun 240Z. One of our current members has already done a mostly stock 500" swap, but I'm looking to go farther! My plans are a aluminum headed 500" thru a Tremec TKO 600 5 speed and a VLSD R230 rear diff. The car will be setup to handle well in the corners and have A/C. I am currently collecting parts but hope start my conversion this spring/summer. I look forward to hearing from anyone with constructive suggustions!

Mark,

I had some pics of a 240Z with a low buck Caddy swap, but I deleted tham by mistake. If you ask over at the CowboySeven board, someone there may have those pics.

Iirc, he used stock RWD manifolds, and it fit like a glove. Iirc, he narrowed a 12 bolt chev rear. I'm assuming he used an Eldo pan, but I can't say for sure.

Mark,

Neat stuff. I have been wondering how Stampie's swap was going.

You can double check, but my understanding was it's on hold, and the '70 is now on the front burner, though that's going slow.
