V8 Time: LSx owners running ZCG CV axles!
We love to hear from customers using our products. In addition to ZCG customer project cars running our CVs, many do-it-yourself owners are installing these parts on their own cars worldwide. Here are four, GM LSx powered Z-cars all running ZCG CV axles. Johnston S out of North Carolina installed ZCG CV axles on his 1974 260z running a turbocharged LS1:
Tyler F. hails from Washington and he sent us these pictures of his LS-powered S30 project getting ZCG CV Axles:
We were happy to hear that Tyler successfully installed his CVs:
“Rob, I was able to install the new axles you shipped, and I wanted to say thank you. The fitment was perfect, and really easy to install, and I appreciate the extras you threw in. Im so excited to have my beast out on the roads again! Cheers, Tyler”
Mike T. from Georgia installed our CVs on his ’78 LS1-powered 280z:
Our customer Gary R also received ZCG CV axles on his LS3-powered 280Z. Full report on this beauty soon!

ZCarGarage is building this ’67 Camaro Pro-Touring style with a modern powertrain and running gear but nearly stock appearance. Think “old soul” with modern “go”! Power will come from a GM LS1 V8 with a T56 six-speed manual transmission. Full suspension upgrades, modern wheel/tires and a BAER braking system will help control the added power. The first phase in the resto is to literally breakdown the car in preparation for paint, which will be black with white rally stripes after Williams performs his magic
Like all ZCG restorations, each item that is removed from the car is individually bagged an labeled, then placed on a separate rack for the owner. Here are a few photos from the interior removal:
Say goodbye to the straight-6! Old suspension will be replaced with new pieces throughout:
Stripped and ready for paint…check back for updates!
