For Sale: 1976 Datsun 280Z with a 5.3 L V8

1976 Datsun 280Z with a iron-block 5.3 L V8

This Datsun 280Z is for sale in Austin, Texas. The engine is a 5.3 L iron-block LM7 V8 which is usually found in GM trucks and SUVs. The engine has an LS1 intake and JCI LSx swap headers. The updraged T-56 six-speed transmission came out of a 800+ horsepower LS7 Camaro. The upgraded transmission leaves some room if the new owner would like to go forced induction. The suspension is five-way adjustable Tokico Illumina struts with linear rated springs. The body is very straight with minimal rust around the gas cap door and some on the driver side frame rail. You can view more photos of the Datsun here.
