So, I'm looking for a car project to start in the next year or so, somewhat of a long term project. I've always been a big fan of the early Datsun Z cars, and plenty of them have had various engine swaps, including small block V8s and such.
So, given that the old Z's have straight 6's for their original engine, and long noses, I'm guessing that they would have enough room to fit an S55 in their; obviously custom engine mounts, radiator, intercooler, pretty much everything. I'm thinking the long pole in the tent would be the electronics; in other words, what is going to control the S55? The ECU from a stock F8x? But they are so intertwined, and you don't have many of the other components, the ECU will probably be freaking out. Aftermarket (there are a couple open source ECU's out there)? Other options?
Anyways, only an interesting thought project at this point.
Also, not exactly sure which part of the forum to throw this in, feel free to move it wherever.

Project: S55 in a 240/260/280Z...Feasible?
