Ok boys and girls.
We all know what I drive 5.3 liter s30 datsun.. soon to be 6.0
The car weights 2800 lbs give or take
Makes over 300 whp
Has IRS
and 3 pedals.
Best Part I have just under 10k invested in the car.
Find me a car that cost no more than 10k that has atleast 300 hp , 3 pedals , lightish , and can handle as good as a car with IRS ... This post comes from me pondering the idea of getting rid of the datassun.

I have a way to most of those currently in action, but it's a fairly unique way suited mostly to me. I can't say I'd recommend it per se.

E36 M3 with your favorite kind of forced induction or drop in a LS motor like some kind of sick freak.

Yes.. Its a LM4 just like a LS1 but 5.3 instead of 5.7 it's still all aluminum.

It has a slush box though... don't worry you can bolt up t-56 to it...
And if in all honest you want a reasonable handling RWD body on frame car to drag race, if you re-enforce the frame on a G-body it will be just fine. you can actually turn them into decent handling cars to, i seem to remember hotrod or someone turning 1.05 g on skidpad or something stupid after they re-did the suspension.
Personally though. Keep the Z

Also... if you do the 6.0 swap... what are the plans for the 5.3?

The woman want's a el camino .. I'd like something I could tow the datsun with if I were to keep it. So the overall plan is to get a full blown race car. Yea it would be nice to have the datsun as a drag car but it's going to be very costly compared to buying a rolling chassis and chucking the 6.0 in it. Even pondering the idea of building the 6.0 (360 cu in) into a 408.. would cost about 2 - 3 grand to do it but we all know there's no replacement for displacement . So to answer the question the LM4 all aluminum 5.3 would go in the el camino to tow the datsun with a 6.0.... Even pondering taking the T56 out of the datsun to replace it with a power glide and put the 6 speed in the el camino ... Many options ahead.

Why build a PG? TH-400 if you're worried about making stupid power, plus three speeds for on road driving if you want. Maybe even a built up 200-4r if you want OD.

I like the 200-R4 idea .. If the car gets gbuilt into a race car like I want It would be a T400 with a massive trans cooler on the front bumper for JDM ness

haha, buy an 80's el camino, you'll get a 200-4r core, rebuild it and you'll be swappin transmissions between the two lol.

Early 80's aren't too bad but those mid to late 80's camino's make my eyes burn

That's not too bad but the straight box design of the late 80's is ugly as fuck.

Do it. There are already several G-body owners on Oppo, why not you?
