6 Speed Slant Six
I've been slowly gathering parts for it for the last 12 years. Long-term plans include a HX35 turbo, MS3 Pro EFI, Ford 8.8, and 18x9 wheels. I already have the parts, I just want to get the transmission swap done first just in case I have to remove the engine a couple times. I'm about to upgrade the suspension as well with parts from Peter Bergman.
I don't have a V8 to test fit parts on, but I'm taking donations ;). I have been planning to try and adapt to the V8 as well since it should just be a couple bolt pattern changes.
For what it's worth, the 350z has a 6600RPM redline and 3.54 rear gears. I'm personally planning on running a ratio in the high 2.90s to low 3.00s to help load the turbo and counter the low first gear.
It's going into my 1970 Dart Swinger. It was my first car in highschool. I did the yellow paint job for my senior project. A 12 hour project requirement turned into 350. The car ended up pretty straight but an encounter with some black ice and a ditch means the fenders still need work. Because of that coupled with some rust bubbles coming through from bad prep and I've decided I'm going to strip back to bare metal and do it again after I finish the mechanical upgrades.
