Bald Eagle Swap: 1990 Nissan 300ZX LSx V8

DailyTurismo Modern Classic 300ZX, 4th of July, LM7, LSX, Nissan, V8 Swap 2

The 300ZX was a 2 door sports car from Nissan during the great Japanese sports car boom of the 1990s and featured a host of technology in a Isao Sono & Toshio Yamashita designed body. Power came from a V6, which was available with a tire melting twin turbo setup, but today this Z has been given an injection of freedom in the form of a 5.3 liter GM V8, which is described by the seller as an LSX, but it is probably an LM7 from a 2000-2007 Chevy Suburban. This guy is ready for the 4th of July, are you? Find this 1990 Nissan 300ZX LSx V8 offered for $7000 in Groton, MA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

In 1960 American Motors Corp styling VP Edmund E Anderson directed reboot of the oddly named Rambler American (the Rambler name originating from AMC’s acquisition of Nash which made a Rambler model, but AMC made Rambler a brand and added an American model name…) — regardless, the Rambler was changed from the roly-poly bathtub style […]

10k: Pipe Dream: 1978 Toyota Celica LSX Turbo

How do you like your Celica? Mustang-mimicking? Toyobaru-inspiring? WRC-qualifying?

Somewhere aft of both lurks a massive turbo, compressing air on the way to a 6.0L iron-block V8. Now that’s refined taste. Find this turbocharged […]

1k: I’ll Take Sleepers For $1000 Alex: 1981 Ford Fairmont Turbo LSX

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Chevy V8, Fairmont, Fast, Ford, LS1 Swap, LSX, Sleeper 6

The term sleeper gets thrown around casually in automotive circles. Some folks might call the Samurai powered Morris from earlier this week a sleeper because it has double the stock power of an original version, but it is still slower than a Prius with a fully charged battery and it looks like a hot rodded […]
