Thought it was pretty interesting.Ive seen a LS Swap into a 240sx, Rx7, and other cars but never a 350z.heres the original link:Milanos New LS1 350Z - DRIFTING.com (http://www.drifting.com/forums/pictures-and-video-clips/26300-milanos-new-ls1-350z.html#post219150)

Lately folks drop in LS1 into all kind of chassis its not exciting anymore.

I agree VK swap would be cooler, but if you were actually planning on doing either one you'd see LS1 is easier.
VK56DE - no manual tranny was made, you'd have to get some type of adapter to use another transmission.
the one VK56 240 build, I've seen the guy had to cut the shit out of the firewall and transmission tunnel.
aftermarket support VK56DE < LS1, VQ35DE < LS1
LS1 makes power easy, and it's an easier swap overall, less custom fabrication needed and kits are widely available.

a vk56 240 isn't a 350z.
I seen a guy with a 454 in an econoline van does this relate?

I seen a guy with a 454 in an econoline van does this relate?
it relates because people put VQ35's in 240's without having to to cut the firewall or transmission tunnel...
stock 350z engine is the VQ35, so the transmission tunnel may be similarly sized.
I'm just saying it may pose as a problem...
well I researched some shit.. Chris Forsberg has one in his 350z, I tried to look for a build thread no luck, I did see some pictures on his official website but nothing much.

No one has mentioned that this is, in fact, Chris Milano (real name, Kris Kregorian) doing this swap? He's good buddies with the guys at San Dimas Auto, who own VQswap.com - they all do "chop shop" work. We're not talking Hinson quality here.
I should know, I worked for him a couple years ago.
I'll be interested to see if it runs/works. Oh, and my money's on the fact that he's decided to do this because he blew up his TT VQ35.

No. You cannot compare anything it's entirely custom anything goes based on user discretion.
A 240 isn't an 350z why didn't you have an idea at the size of a KA transmission vs a VQ series 6 speed? They arent close to the same size.
The reason they aren't cutting the firewall is, because the engine and transmission (http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr315/kraelic/DSC01558.jpg) is move forward, so the bell doesn't interfere thats why they lengthened the shifter base.
Chris is using his stock transmission with an adapter plate which alters the total length because the bell housing isn't milled. 350z are front midships that mean less modifying.

I've seen a car that was put together at Milano's shop.......UGH! Luckily we were tearing it all apart as it had some good parts on it and a very bad chasis. Can anybody say uberhack? The electric fan was wired with solid copper house wire and I think 1/2 the bolts that were not 100% necessary were missing. The damn car had about eleventy thousand "milano motorsports" business cards in it so the story about where the car came from definitely checked out.

Swapping a VK doesn't make a lot of sense. The biggest problem is that it just doesn't have the aftermarket support that the VQ35 and LS series motors have. It is arguable that the VK may possibly be a better overall motor then the VQ (in stock form), but the LS series motors are unquestionably superior. They are one of the very few things that GM has gotten right anytime in recent memory. I personally wouldn't want to run a bellhousing adapter either. It's just another part that can fail and flex IMO. That is not really a big problem or anything, I just wouldn't want to do it if I could find a way to avoid it.

All I have to say from the perspective of being a Italian American.... Kris Kregorian changing his last name to Milano for the sake of trying to look better is a fucking insult to all Italians and Italian Americans. Fuck that shit, he is a Armenian thats trying to bite off a culture that is not even his own.
He is also disgracing any Italian Americans with the last name Milano. Imagine if someone came up to Alyssa Milano at a restaurant in Hollywood( she has been seen out and about) and asked her if she was related to his ass? :rofl: thats some fucked up shit right there.

Just for the sake of the argument, these are all ENGINES, not motors.:naughty:
But anyway, I would never say that an LSx is superior to either of the Nissan engines. Let's not get into vast generalities like "this engine is superior to this other one". There is too much personal opinion and variability to say anything so bold and there is too much to say on either side of the argument.
Basically what I'm trying to say is engine vs. engine arguments are lame, boring, no one really wins, and they just turn into a waste of space on this forum.

I'm sorry, but the LS series motors are un-arguably suiperior. They not only make more power stock, but are capable of making more power when built. They are comparable in weight to the vq, have a super broad torque curve, can actually rev to decently high rpm's, and the aftermarket support is far greater then even the VQ. Their ONLY downside in a 240 is that they are not a nissan motor. There is nothing to argue about. I am not saying the nissan motors are bad engines, but the LS series is simply better in pretty much every concievable way.

From the adapters I have seen it comes down to how much work the consumer wants to do that decides the quality of the job. Some just sandwich in between and you end up with a spaced out fly wheel(major no no). The type I like remove the original mounting flange and replace it with the proper dowel locations and bolts. I don't see any room for flex there.

LS isn't superior to anything you're just a fan boy it's a great motor how ever, aftermarket parts availability doesn't pose a problem if it isn't the average consumer. Since the true race engine builder requires great specifics on his components not generics off the self.
Adapter plate flex? Show me one that posed a problemJust don't continue with me... the domestic community run torque plates which are thinner and support their motors w/o center block brackets and use this practice for YEARS running over 800+ TQ with 6 liter + engines that weigh 2 to three times the weight of an SR20.

Also why didn't they just take a saw and a welder to the transmission tunnel?
Is there no space under the dash?

the other LSx motor 350z's i have seen and in person all have the motor sitting far back with no transmission clearance issues. so i don't know why milano's motor is so far forward.
i think david steele brought up the motor plates because he was putting enfisus(SP?) on the non issue that transmission adapter plates are. The fact of the matter is THEY ARE NOT AN ISSUE. End of story. though the issue is that some people use flywheel spacers/adapters apposed to getting the correct flywheel or spacing the throw out bearing. That i can see a very legit concern.
as far as the LS vs VK goes... well... it's all a mater of preference since those engines both do have aftermarket parts available. In case you weren't aware but those VK engines are very popular in off road truck racing. Nissan has done very well with that engine. You can get dry sumps, ITB's cams headers, pistons, cranks... all the same shit you can get for the LSx, though i don't know about the price difference though.

I do LOVE the LS motors. For the money there is no beating them. Not everyone is resourceful enough to source custom parts or nismo race parts for the VK motors. Sure you and probably me could find whatever we needed, but the average consumer couldn't. That IS a problem as the average consumer is a good description of most poeple. We are not all race engine builders and almost none of us can afford the services of one. The easy availability of ANYTHING you could ever possibly need or want for the LS series engines is what makes them un-questionably the better choice to me. The VK engines make a shit ton of power on offroad trucks, but where is the average consumer going to get those parts and how much more expensive then their LS equivalents are they going to be?
Adapter plate flex? Show me one that posed a problemJust don't continue with me... the domestic community run torque plates which are thinner and support their motors w/o center block brackets and use this practice for YEARS running over 800+ TQ with 6 liter + engines that weigh 2 to three times the weight of an SR20.
I never said it was really an issue, I just said that I don't like the idea if I can avoid it.
That is not really a big problem or anything, I just wouldn't want to do it if I could find a way to avoid it.
The above quote was taken DIRECTLY from my post. Reading comprehension apparently completely escapes you.

Give it up man, this thread is waaaaayyyy off topic and your presenting a very biased view.

Wow not only do you not post relevant information, but you excel in thinking your funny, when your not. Oh and you also seem to be real good at getting butthurt and hurling expletives.
First off, it's "you're" not "your" asshat. Who's getting butt hurt here? You're the one getting sand all up your vagina because I didn't make a post regarding why Jennifer Aniston changed her last name. Which by the way, has absolutely NO relevance in this thread whatsoever. Or that I agree/disagree to why bellhousing adapters are good/bad. Or that people of Asian decent should/shouldn't get round eye operations done. And I fail to see any relevant or useful posts made by yourself.
So by this logic above (that all those topics are relevant) I could go on about Dinosaurs becoming extinct, and the creation of fossil fuels, and the discovery of fossil fuels, and the development of the combustion engine. I would be right on topic, right?
Didn't think so.

The topic of his "last name" applies. Jennifer Aniston changed her last name, and so did "Chris Milano"... see the connection?
Drift Freaq is a respected member of this community. Neither you, nor Milano Motorsports, can say that at this point. Sorry kid, don't be a dick next time.

I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm trying to convey that my "douchebag" off topic post isn't as bad as some of the other ones in here. And for some reason mine gets drawn from the hat as the one to rip on.
I don't mean to be an ass, nor do I intentionally want to stir up arguments.
To Driftfreak: Nothing personal, just pissed me off. I took it as a personal attack and acted accordingly.
To this thread: Agreed I didn't contribute. But some others are just as guilty. Again nothing personal.
I'll shut my mouth now.

Ok, I am talking about the advantages of a LS series motor vs other comparable motors. This thread was about a LS powered 350z. That is NOT very far off topic. Also how am I biased? I prefer one engine because of logical reasons that I have presented here in this thread in multiple posts. I never said that any of the other motors are "bad", I just happen to prefer one or two of them. I am putting a vq35 in my car by the way, that throws your theory on me being extremely biased towards the LS motors right out the window. The LS, VQ, and VK are all good motors. I just like the LS and VQ the most because of how readily available anything I want for them is. The only engine that I am biased either extremely for or against is the VH45. I don't see a point to swapping that engine in other then how cheap you can get it for. The VQ is more capable IMO.

Ok I will quote this post rather than your patently offensive other post. Which by the way really did not piss me off. You made a comment that was uncalled for, I called you on that comment. I was not angry or pissed, I just felt your comment was pretty low and immature.
You got pissed,why? Most likely because you knew, I was right.
You will probably get mad at this post though too. Why? I call it like it is son. If it was not true it would probably not have made you angry.
Oh and you quoted my typo. LOL funny how when ever you call someone on the carpet and you are right, the most they can come back at you for is a possible typo.
In end you try to atone for your uncalled for comment but still try to not take responsibility for it by saying others have done so as well.
Shit If others ran out into the freeway in oncoming traffic would you? I don't think so. Therefor, next time think about your comments, before posting useless unneeded comments. Comments that will most likely elicit a response that will piss you off.
You will save much bandwidth and numerous extra posts.
Oh and to everyone else sorry this had to go on.
Have a nice day.
