In light of receiving several requests for information about the LS1 300ZX conversion manual I decided to post some details. First off, the manual is still for sale ($42.50) and is still as comprehensive as ever. For those that haven’t heard about my LS1 project, it was the first of its kind and was featured in Sport Z Magazine. The project was documented from start to finish and all of the information was compiled into a manual. This manual was written so that others could benefit from a wealth of information from someone who has completed the conversion project. The following table of contents is found in the manual:
