    Given the cost of general maintenance of the 300ZXs that swap might actually SAVE you money.

    I wonder how much you can pick up a used LS1 for?

    Looks pretty good though, must sound like a beast.

    I think there in the neighbourhood of $8000 for one of that vintage

    I'm guessing that swap would end up costing around 20k

    That was on a Ebay bid, if you read the description he says it is easier to buy his car because I think the swap would cost upwards of $20 000, from what I can remember off the top of my head there was fabrication to the engine bay, hood and fenders as well as obvious things like engine etc etc
