For one their website CLEARLY states that the conversion is for the 1970-1978 Datsun Z Car, not ONCE does it mention the S130 chassis specification or even mention a 280ZX.
Your lack of attention to detail is NOT their responsibility they manufacture parts for V8 swaps into 1970-1978 Z Cars NOT 1979-1983 ZX cars.
Therefore contacting them for the "blueprints" for ZX mounts which they don't produce is assinine.
As far "you paid for the book you'd like the ZX blueprints ya know" maybe you should have asked questions first and paid better attention "ya know"
Your best bet is going to be to post into the S130 subforum and ask if anyone may be able to let you know where they got their mounts pre-made from or found the blueprints to make their own.
Sorry Admins if this sounds a bit harsh but he's asking for JTR to send him information that they themselves very well may not even have considering his swap isn't even the same chassis that the kit was designed for.
Check your facts. There's no reason to get so upset over a post that's four months old anyway.

Nice, I really like Buells. If only I had money...
What other bikes do they have?
-
Been a long day, how's this?...
I like it! Tonight was actually Jameson and water though. Mmm-mmm-tasty!

Grumpy, what is your preferred method of checking bearing clearance on main caps and rod ends? Plasti-gauge or micrometers or something else? Plastigauge seems like it has the potential to be not all that accurate, but I've never used it.
Thanks

It resets automatically, sorry about that. Let myself, RTz, or Phlem know and we'll change it for ya.
I'm not feeling very creative right now, so if you have something witty to put go ahead

Hahaha, awesome.

Happy birthday Paul!

hmmm... I just donated again the other day.

Did your engine ever overheat when you were towing? If something is warped (block, heads) that might explain the over-torquing the manifold to get a good seal and the leaks.

Oh holy crap! I thought you were talking about the baby in the pin stripe suit! I just now got it.

The owner of extrudabody, Kevin I think, is a member here and Z owner as well. Nice guy from what I've heard.

Yeah real gangsters shoot semi-automatic SKSs... what ever happened to auto Glocks and MAC-10s?
Maybe he's on a budget?
Finger on the trigger was the first thing I noticed. Some people shouldn't have guns. He is one.

I hope it's not like the new Cadillacs... When I turn that car on, I don't want it to return the favor :|

Oh, and Doc you had me second guessing myself there for a minute! Haha
I'm going to use the third set I linked to, 5cc valve reliefs and 1.565 compression height. That's what's used in the calculations above and for 10 bucks more, why not!

Look about right? That's using this head gasket http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEL-7733PT2/Application/?prefilter=1

I already have the JTR headers for the ZX and I'm pretty sure they'll work just fine after looking at some pics. The primaries run pretty high up.

These are three sets of pistons I've been looking at. I'm leaning towards the two valve ones, but I'm not sure which compression height to use.

So the Sanderson block huggers fit around the angle plugs? The JTR ones or other ones?

Dude sounds like he's busting a nut over what he just witnessed...

That's one thing you can do to help. Be more specific in your location so people know where you are. I hear that there California is a darn big place
-
You should roll around in the mud a little, maybe crawl through some briars or whatever thorny plants you have out in California to get a more "broken in" look
-
Mine showed up Friday morning, but I never got a tracking number. Oh well
I don't have anything to compare them to, but they sure do look nice! Like Doc said very clean casting, little to no excess flashing, solid looking heads. The only thing is mine are angle plug when I requested straight. Hopefully my headers still fit.

I used a high-temp RVT instead of the gasket and it seems to work pretty well.
