Cool! Thanks everyone! I will re-consider the head... I'll have to see what I can afford. You never can spend enough!

I'm building a 377 I'm getting the 400 block this weekend and I think I am going to get PME Racing's 377 kit. I've been working (playing) on (with) Datsuns for 20 years but haven't done anything with V-8's. So while I think this makes sense I know I could be so far off... From reading here and else where it sounds like a good idea to use vortec heads and the victor jr intake (if they have one for the vortec), but what about the super victor? Would that screw up the low end too much, or since the motor will rev so well will it be a none issue. I am also planning to use a 17 lbs flywheel so it should rev pretty quick... right? or am I being stupid somewhere in here? Thanks!!

I just wanted to find out if anyone has used the kit or any or the peices from them. If ya did how was it? Any parts out of it that would be worth using? Thanks! Joe Verna demidion@ameritech.net '73 240Z SCCA Solo 2 F Prepared... hmm maybe for sale soon '78 280Z in lots and lots of parts spread everywhere so that when I need one them, I can't find it until I replace it!

I recently bought a 280Z that is completely dissasembled. It was dipped and repainted. Unfortunately I don't know how or what was done to it. When I got it I saw a few spots of peeling paint on the interior and engine compartment. Turns out the just about everywhere there is a bend the paint has lifted. So I am going over all of it with a scraper to see where the lifted spots are. I guess I have quite a few questions, but here's the first few. This was done at least a year ago, as there is surface rust under the peeling paint. The first question is can this continue? Will the paint keep peeling? I am thinking the appropriate thing to do is strip all of it off and repaint. The problem is there is no suspension in it yet. So I can't move it. What is a good stripper to use that I don't need to wash off? I seem to remember that there are a few that strip, then dry up and are easy to scrape off and vacuum up. I hope so! Thanks!
