VERY cool build...With the z06 cam loving boost a front/rear mount turbo would be insane, and with your fab skills it should be cheap and easy....
I just picked up a 69 Datsun 510 with a Ka24 swap...I plan on putting a sr20deT in..Any way the guy that I bought it from has a LS1 powetred 944 and thinks he knows you from the forums..Every car the guy had was a hybrid of some sort..

No one has done a centrifugal with the swap....Now that would be a daily driver
I'm just not sure I would want any more power than another 100 horses. I can still swap heads and intake.

Over 18,000 Daily driven miles on the beast and still no problems with the 5.3 other than about 2-3 seconds of lifter tick on start-up. I'm already considering building another one with the 6.0 and L92 heads I see you guys flaunting.
What cam would work with this combo and 2800 lb car manual trans?

No track videos. I wouldn't dare video my daily track event to work
Almost 30K miles since the swap and still haven't busted anything on this motor except the factory GM Pressure plate gave up the ghost at about 25K harsh miles. It was about 6500 RPM down-shift that sealed it's fate. Bust off two of the plate fingers.
I reinstalled Centerforce PP # 360010 and back in the game with even more bite. This engine still purrs like a lion after all the daily abuse LOL and I'm getting a solid 30MPG to boot, amazing. Anyways, from now on I'm building a 100% Bolt-On basic V8 swap kit for these reliable truck engines....
$1800 shipped to any US-48..... Just PM
Everything needed for a basic swap minus the oil-pan (I suggest getting TPC's) as This kit uses TPC's AC-compatible POWDER-COATED uprights and allows maximum steering rack clearance. The X-member is precision line-bored at the control arms for exact 3/4" drop, relieved at the rack mounts (for max oil-pan clearance) and slotted at the Upright mounts for aft movement. It was then acid washed, primered, and painted . Again, I guarantee your hood will close (with no cutting) even with the taller power steering rack. 3/4" billet X-member spacers and 3/4" longer X-member zinc-plated bolts and washers. 3/4" Sway bar spacers. 3/4" bump-steer tie-rod drop blocks (You will need to get a set of MANUAL rack outer tie-rods...Rock Auto $25/ea). Bolt-on Modded 13/16" Wilwood MC and custom adjustable pushrod adapter (Includes Wilwood accessories). 30" -4an stainless braided line and Wilwood NPT adapter. Brand New Anodized and Pre-Modded C5 throwout bearing with -4an lines included to fit the C5 Bellhousing adapter with TT mounting hardware all included. Your chioice of an LS or LT/SBC pilot bearing adapter and new pilot bearing. I redesigned the 1/4" thick 2000 series alloy brake MC adapter for factory 944 MC and a longer custom adjustable pushrod adapter. It has a seperate billet plate that removes so the larger firewall plate can be re-used for Hydroboost or Dual MC mount later. Kit comes with New construction 4140 custom steering shaft with brand new Borgeson U-joints made for the 3/4" X-member drop. It is adjustable due to the Double D ends. Comes lengthened exactly 1/2" but can be extended or shortened by end-user.....Also included is my new universal billet-polyurethane transmission mount (85.5-up only) that set the drivetrain at factory position or 1/2" back for the V8 swap with swappable set-screws..... And to sweeten the pot, I'm adding in one of my Short Shifters, all Chromoly design with Teflon Heim....

37K miles on the swap so far. This winter project I'll design the brackets to put the Procharger on the passenger side head to clear the hood.
What injectors do I need to get with a P1SC. I have the early Z06 cam and have read that the later Z06 cam (02-04) may be better with a supercharger?
