Well, here it is I guess. I'm still stacking parts but the build is up and running.
I have a 1992 Z32 that used to have a TT swap in it but the previous owner dropped the #6 piston in. I ended up trading my turbo civic for this and a ratty del sol that I daily at the moment.
My plans are to get the LQ4 (300hp/370tq) that I sourced from a 2002 Chevy 2500HD mated to my stock 5 speed from the old TT swap and all that good stuff.
I have the wiring figured out I think...I wired up a separate fuse box and relays to control the ignition power and fuel pump (bypassing the stock fuel controller but keeping the stock TT pump for the time being) I built a small sub harness to plug the truck EFI harness into the Z's chassis harness. I will try and get a simple diagram up soon to show everyone what I am talking about.
Not useful for me but I know there are some other Z guys on here that will use this:
Also, this helped me track down what wires went to the relays/chassis and is the factory diagram for the Z:

Here are some of the sites that helped me out immensely with the wiring:

As far as mounting goes I ordered a set of universal street rod mounts from summit that look like they will do the trick:
Trans-dapt part # 4501
I'm figuring I can cut the legs down and put a plate on the end with a wheel studd so it can kind of act like the old factory Z mounts mounting in the subframe.
I also have picked up a new oil pan so the motor can sit a little lower and farther back:
Moroso 20140 (oil pan)
Moroso 24050 (pickup)
GMPP 12558253
I haven't hammered out the oil filter relocation just quite yet but will update when I do.
As far as my flywheel/clutch issues I have a stock LS1 fly wheel from a F-body Camaro that has the correct bolt pattern for my engine. I am getting it turned down at a machine shop and having the Z's old ring gear installed on it as well as the old dowels and all of the pressure plate mount holes transferred over. I am losing about a 1/4in on each side of contact space for the clutch because of the way the LS1 flywheel has a wider space in the center. (will get reference pics when I can get out to the shop again)
Here's a little teaser of the wiring madness I went through...
Also, a pic of the Z and my old Civic (94_teggyLs here on the boards has it now)
