I used Mogg # 6558 , off a 1980's chevette front coil springs, for the rear of my 280z. Im sure they would also work on the front. Just cut them down to size.By the way, i have a 472 cadillac in my 280z and i run stock front springs cut a coil and a half.

Stock 3.54 R200.

Car looks great. Can't wait to see it it the flesh. Call me when its ready. I p.m'd you the other week did you get my message???

Thought i'd show a few pics of the car not at my garage. Yes it does run. I just about have all the bugs out of it. Just need to tune it up a little, still running rich.

A few weeks ago z-dreamer invited me to send some pics over to the cadillac forum. At first they thought the engine was photo shopped, till i sent more pics. Heres the link.http://www.cowboyseven.us/forum/index.php?topic=2300.0

After a week of fixing little gliches like the drive shaft hit the rear sway bar, only in reverse and getting the cooling fan relay hooked up. I took it around the block for the first time. I did'nt open it up but man its hard to keep the tires from spinning. All went well, everthing worked and no vibrations. Tonight i set the float level in the carb it was running way too rich, hope to take it out this weekend if it dos'nt rain.

Here's a pic of the trans mount.

Check out this thread.http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=95139 The only thing differant to a small block chevy swap was the motor mount adapter i made up from 4x3" 1/2' plate. I used the stock cad rwd mounts and fabbed my own trans mount from the stock mount , just cut the ends off and welded 1 1/2" square tubing to the mount and 4x4 square plate in the trans tunnel.

Great looking car. I'm another roadster builder. I made my rear trunk out of a shortened rear hatch, skinned with a roof skin off a 2+2 i had around and filled in the sides with strips of sheet metal from a hood. I started with a 1972 240z i've had since 1973, so it was beat up pretty well, but once you start you keep going and five years later it was on the road. I had the six point cage welded in before i cut the roof off and tied the front and rear frame rails together with c channed from the scrap metal store. Iv'e had mine on the road for 12 years now, my 472z cadillac project has kept me busy for the last three years but i still love driving "toplsz" when the sun is out.
