Found a bellhousing. Moving along.
The swap itself is going to be pretty straight forwards. I have a spare pair of heads i'm going to port.
Only issue i think i may run into is how low to mount the motor. It's fixed in it's forward/aft location given i'm using a stock s13 driveshaft and stock s13 transmission for now. I will be cutting my firewall and moving the engine back a good 3-5" when i'm able to convert to the z32 TT box.
Ah, the joys of building a reliable car. Love it! So much fun. I'll post a build thread in a couple months or whenever it's swapped, wired and running. The engine i have now has not been test fired or anything. Bellhousing should be here 1st or second week of next month. Clutch, turbo and fab crap should be here this week and all through next month (still not done ordering parts/metal) so maybe summer?
Hater's gonna hate i'm sure but those looking for shakotan kitted baller stuff should know i'm just not about that. I appreciate the look and work and money and time involved but i like to go fast, keep it silly and if i hit something during, not be sour about wrecking a $500 bumper or a $1000 wheel. Lol. I'll be sour about having to spend $100 for a new wheel and then putting in a few hours panel beating. Lol.
I like stuff that goes hard with purpose. People say drifting is "half show". I agree. Flashy cars just aren't my bag. I hate the attention.
Mild silvia is silvia.
Z engine is a league of awesome all in it's own. Would LOVE to get my hands on a l28 but for now, vg's are my playthings.
Peace out and thanks for at least viewing my thread.
