  1. try: http://www.carbontrix.com
  2. try carbon trix. http://www.roadraceengineering.com/rock/tunerpods.htm I hope I did this right. they make all sorts of cool stuff. I used one of their small panels for the dash on my race car.
  3. vht makes both red and black wrinckle paint in spray bomb. summit carries both. Im doing my engine bay in black and the valve covers, and engine parts in red, Im going for the ferreri(sp) look. I painted the valve covers for my pickup with black and they turned out nice. I think the paint cosys $7 a can
  4. thanks for the advise, some old guy bought the car off me today. so now I need to find a new motor, chevy, ford , vg30. to many choices!
  5. does anyone have any info on swaping a v8 engine out of a lexis ls 400 I have a chance to get on cheap
  6. my project is underway. I will use the stock crank, port and polish the heads, new pistons and a mild cam. I desided to sacrifice hp for fuel milage and reliability. maybe after I get the subframe and body (going to cut the rear behind the tires off and make a C5 corvette rear) after the cars done I might try to make an AWD z. I just bought a wrecked typhoon with a bad engine.
  7. I want to build a subframe for my zx, I am installing a modified buick v6 . I also want to make a rollcage. I have access to all the tools and the chassis of my car is in good condition. MY question is how far forward should I connect the subframe to the existing frame? I plan to weld it to the rear suspenion bar. ( Im shaving off the rear just behind the wheels, the roof, and making a C5 rear clip)
  8. I got my motor apart today, has anyone use one of the PAW kits for their motor? the kits seem very reasonable, or is it better to use my existing crank and go with JE, or any other aftermaket pistons? I think I any going to leave my motor NA for now so I'm hoping for 250hp. I might try to graph the fuel ingection and supercharger off of a wrecked car I found. but the guy wants alittle to much for it right now. I found a t5 trans for my car but I need a bellhousing will the one from a v6 firebird work or should I go with an aftermarket? thanks for all the info this is really my first transplant, I'm good at building drag bikes but love my zx.
  9. The engine I have is from a rear drive car. I am just trying to find any info on if it is possible to build a 300 hp v6 that is still streetable without a turbo, or is it easier to build my own turbo system from junkyard parts?
  10. I am thinking of building a v6 for my 79 280zx. I read a book that mentions kenne bell makes lots of performance parts, but I can't find much info on the web. the other question I have is. I want to try to get close to 300hp out of my motor(84 0lds 231) and I was wondering if it can be done with an NA motor or will I need to build it with a turbo? I also want to run a 5spd trany. will a trans from a firebird work?
  11. can anybody help me. I am trying to make motor mounts for my 79, I heard that truck mounts would work the best, and a bracket that was "s" shaped. If amyone has pics or blue prints it would help alot. My second quest, will a T5 from a turbo z work with the 5.0
