thanks for that Frank280zx.
I was thinking of at least making my own strut tower connectors, maybe a triangle for under the hood once the engine is in and maybe a "H" for the rear with the lower ends being tied into where the seats bolt into, or maybe into the rocker pannels since I think is where these 280zxs are strong. In the plans anyway were new sub frame peices, from a company up in Cananda, and I was maybe going to make a drvie shaft hoop to tie them together, and/or tie them into the front frame rails an to the rear suspension.
We have a R200 rear end and the shafts but I thought I read that the 180 diff in our year Fairlady was just as strong, anyone on here have any idea?
For the wiring, I know most of the crap will go from the engine bay, except like stuff that is needed for the car. Just wondered if anyone kept a 12vdc stock source or even the stock alternator wiring. Also, if any of the stock vacc lines were kept and if so, what and where did they get connected. Another thought is the stock gauges? I know there is a adj. for the stock tach but can the stock gauges be made to work, like keeping the sensors and adapting them to the 350 block?
Its get rather sticky down here in Florida and we are thinking of keeping the A/C, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Not looking into huge ammounts of HP, plan on keeping the 383 stock, maybe get a 700cfm 4bbl.
Tranny is still up in the air, if we can sell the 2 350s, we'll look into tranny options. Are all the kits out there for installing autos only? I search on that further.
