July 31, 201212 yr comment_397286 Have you seen a link where someone did the swap with a 280Z? I've only seen it with 240Zs. The housing may be different. If you go for it and need help, let me know. I'm not that far away from you. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/43964-blower-upgrade-1978-280z-worth-it/#findComment-397286 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 31, 201212 yr comment_397293 Irish,You can do the honda blower motor swap on a 280z yes. You do need to "modify" the blower housing by cutting out the hole bigger but once it's big enough to fit the new honda motor it works great. I noticed a minor difference but it was worth it if you ever plan on replacing a bad motor (which was why I did it in mine). All you need is something to cut the metal in the housing. I used an air power saw which cut through it like butter.

Where is this guy located?Thanks Randy Randy, Here's a link with the meeting details: http://georgiazclub.com/events/details/92.html. Eddie Radatz is over in Kennessaw. There are others on this board who could vouch for him, but I doubt they'll post anything since they are a bunch of sissy lurkers.

August 5, 201212 yr comment_397705 take a look at the Kia Sportege blower motor. Mid 90's, You'll have to modify the housing some but other than that it is direct replacement.
