My history with cars is limited to restoring a Datsun 240Z and a Datsun 260Z. My plans now are to explore the use of a Buick 350 in a Datsun 280Z. Reason I'm interested in doing this is there are too many chevie powered datsun out there but have never heard of anyone wanting to use a Buick 350 (69-81 era engines) . some interesting facts about this setup is 1. the 350 engine weight is about the same as the L28 inline six a Datsun runs. 2. since there is a lot of documentation around on sbc engines being used in Datsuns it should not be too much of a problem to follow those guides with the installing of a Buick engine. My goals are build an engine that produces between 275 and 300 hp. I want to run a T5 tranny and a LSD diff.
This should be a sleeper and not very expensive to build and definitely can be called a hot rod.

Welcome! The Buick 455 weighs about the same as an SBC with an aluminum intake.
