Where'd you get the motor? Sometimes people swap on the 305 heads to bump up compression.

So I went and looked at it on Saturday but didn't get to drive it. The owner said she bought it from someone who got it from a police auction. It was in a crash at some point as the front passenger headlight bucket and hood are replacements and the sheet metal around the bucket has been hammered and welded. She said the engine is not the original one, but I didn't look at any casting numbers. The chassis is pretty rough with quite a bit of rust, but I'm pretty tempted to buy it and drive it for a while, then sell it for a turbo swap.
I must be crazy

I made the above jelly using Jalapenos and its fantastic on Turkey. No more cranberry sauce for me! I gave a jar to a friend and loves it on Lamb and Pork Chops.
Turkey is a great idea. I had some left over turkey on a dinner roll with some pepper jelly yesterday... simply amazing!

Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, David Bowie and the Who are all pretty good. I'm only 20 but I've listened to my parents records a bunch

You could probably go through KC and be a little faster
And Jeffer, you're telling me. I have two broke down vehicles and almost no money right now! haha

Ok this might be kind of a dumb question, but is there anything you should replace in the roller lifters when reusing them or can you just clean them out and put them back together. I took one apart and let it soak in chem-dip for a while and it cleaned up well, even a lot of the crud on the inside (scraped it out with a pick).
Haven't made much progress lately, been busy with school. Just cleaning parts mostly. I did install the cam bearings last weekend. The first two bearings were a bit nerve-racking but everything went ok. I have to drop the old rods and pistons off at the machine shop to get the new pistons pressed on, then I should be able to button the short block up.

Can you help me buy viagra and whiten my teeth too?

Very nice! Fly or spinning?
There's only a couple streams that stay cold enough for trout in Nebraska, but the Game and Parks Commission stocks several lakes around the state with 9-12" trout in October for fall and ice fishing. In fact, I'm going out to a lake today!

This? Never seen it, might have to watch it if I have some free time

If you're not hauling anything too heavy a Chevy S-10, Ford Ranger, Datsun/Nissan or Toyota light pickup would be enough. I have a S-10 Blazer and I've hauled engine blocks several times with it.

Yah....we go more for the "dump unburnt fuel out the tailpipe when the engine's cold, lay some rubber down at the lights, oil is a renewable resource (in the long run)" kind of hybrids here
Hahaha!

Mongo mentioned the same thing. Sounds good. I'm guessing that'd tame the beast a little
A little bit
Mostly it just gives you confidence so you eat several at once, then it sneaks up on you and POW you're sucking on the kitchen sink tap. haha

Oh lord, I love that stuff! My favorite is on crackers with cream cheese. Funny you should post this, my mom was making a batch tonight with some ghost peppers tonight!

He's pretty well known. Many people use his LSx mounts for those motors, but I'm not sure about the SBC mounts. I'd say JTR is the most common for Gen I Chevy.

I'm not a deer hunter but if it's a clean kill I don't see anything wrong with it. I know here in Nebraska you can purchase a salvage tag for road-kill deer so you can get it processed. If the deer drags its self into the woods I'd think twice. All the adrenaline gets in the meat and (I've heard) can give it a spoiled taste, not to mention the higher risk of fecal contamination.

Are you thinking about hybrid-treehugger-eco friendly type hybrids? If so you're kinda in the wrong place. This site is about performance engine swaps in Datsun/Nissan Z cars. Think hybrid in the sense of combining two different things i.e. Chevy V8 in a Z.
That is a nice car though. Hmmm... blown 502 anyone?

Any opinions on these rockers?

I remember reading about them in one of my books (Vizard maybe?) and getting a thumbs up. Only thing is it says 1.5" max spring diameter, but the springs on my heads are 1.55. Does .05 make that much of a difference or will it make the geometry all cattywampus?

A 60's Coleman Aircraft Tug had it...
Separate tiller for rear and front. We would set the rears at 45 and the fronts at 45 and crab down the taxiways...
Hahaha, I can just imagine a pilot staring out of the cockpit, mouth agape.

I just stumbled upon this, seems interesting. I'll try to find the dyno results it references.

Oh ok, I didn't realize you already graduated. Congrats! If you do end up moving and have to come through Nebraska, you could always drop it off here
j/kSince you have graduated, I'd lean a little more heavily towards storing it/ keeping it, but still remember it's not the end of the world if you do have to give it up.

If you have the money, I've heard some pretty good stuff about this intake. Otherwise a ported TPI setup can make pretty good power as well.

You can kinda' see the bar/cage in this picture

Max, I'd say if you have a place where you can store it for free or very little money, do that. Otherwise, sell it and when you graduate and have a job and are more settled buy a new Z and do her up right. From what I can remember about your car off the top of my head I'd say it's going to take a lot of time and money to get it to the point where it's reliable. Look around, ask your grandparents, uncles, great aunts etc. if they have space to store it without being a burden; otherwise it's not your first Z and I'm sure it won't be your last.
Just my $.02

Oh sh**, that sucks! So the valve guide was tight and holding the valve open? Can you check clearances for that without tearing down the heads?
Good thing you have all those extra blocks, huh?
