Some of you know that I was planning on doing a 1UZ swap into my 4Runner over the summer. After lots of thought and searching, I scored a red 1978 280Z The car cost me 800 dollars but came with a spare engine, 5 speed transmission, fuel injection system, headers, bumpers, and a few extra parts. The seller is PCS'ing to Germany this coming week and he needed to get everything out of the garage.
I figure that this will be a much easier swap primarily due to the excessive amount of room in the engine bay (people have been able to fit LS7's in them with room to spare). Without further delay, here are some pictures; tell me what you think.

Current plans are to swap the 1UZ in, fix/clean the interior, and repaint it (home-rolled).
