No LSD...

I can't see how... My bets the guides.

Got it now - thanks!

RPM's don't keep a turbo spooled really. To get boost, you have to have load , ie: be accelerating. Depending upon your turbo setup, the time from flooring it to boost is probably near to same at 3000 as it is at 5000, because the turbo is just goin' wit' the flo' unless the engine is under load, when it starts spooling. The reason I say nearly is there will be some small variation, but at higher rpm cruising, the turbo may be spinning faster in cruise, but it has to speed up more to produce the same amount of boost as it would at lower rpms - pretty much a wash. I stated previously that I wanted a real long rod 302 and turbo it. I still say this because I want something quiet and tame to drive daily, but when I stand on it I want to GO! I don't WANT a lot of off-idle torque that ci's give you...so stick with your plan...

When you lower the crossmember, it is in relation to the body/frame. It would seem that this would raise the body, as the suspension attaches to the crossmember. It may be that the body will settle down to the same ride height, after all, the mountings for the struts stay the same... But I can't help but feel that in this scenario yiu will have lost some suspension travel in rebound...by the thickness of the spacer. Of course this would mean more travel available in jounce. Is my take on this correct?

Ross: You may want to explain the differences between the ZXT CV's and the 300ZX's pro and con. You might want to mention pricing, as I don't see anything about them on your website...

I do now. I have one Linux and 2 MS boxes and have programmed since before windows. DOS rules.... in the MS world anyway....

In any situation, the person backing up has the greatest responsibility in the eyes of the law, as your view is never as good as driving and turning. Some states actually have a law saying you are not to back out onto a street. People backing up into a street do not have the right of way, it is their resposibility in backing up to not hit anything or anyone.

Do a 302 or 327, 327 would probably be cheaper. I personally want to do a 302 w/long rods, 9:1 compression and turbo it.

The 305 has the same stroke as the 350 (3.48"). 307 & 327 had 3.25", 283v & 302 3.00"

Use dry ice to make it brittle then chip it off...

Ditto on Charlie...

Siock injectors are only good for ~240 hp, which you should be able to do w/o intercooler - T3/T4, 10 psi and exhaust....

Your ground clearance will go to hell.

Bummer Ross, sorry to hear this.

The blue looks a lot like the color on my zxt - an '86 Jeep color that is close to the Bryar Blue '72 vette color...only bluer.

Read this thread: http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29983 I don't think it's any coicidence that the Cam Maker you picked is not on his list...

The crossmember spacers raise the body in comparison to the wheel centers...don't they?

If you're using a stock turbo, tou're asking for trouble w/o an intercooler. A T3/T4 will lower the temp a good bit - my '83 has hit 15psi (weather chabge w/manual boost controller) w/no sign of detonation. Of course the cooler air temp helped here...

Rather than that, I would consider an air/water setup. The vents in the hood are not located well for replacing the jpipe.

The stock AR (T3) is .63. You might get away with .8x if you have a good exhaust header that actually runs 2 sets of 3 cylinders to the divided housing...maybe near stock boost response. Even with this proper turbo header, you'll be on up there in rpms for boost to start w/the 1.15.

This should have been asked in the Ford forum - plenty of searchable sites - Terry Oxendale for one...

I think 65 amp output

Can't guarantee this info is correct: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/6212/diffswap/diffswap.htm Says you have a 3.54 R180. The R180 rear cover is definitely rectangular - squared corners. The R200 has rounded corners. This page should illustrate: http://www.geocities.com/madmanadam/Z-car/r200swap.html
