Looking for a 5 or 6 speed Tremec TKO tranny if anyone has one for sale or knows someone who does. Need the D/S out put flange as well. Thanks.

I am looking for cage ideas for my 77 280 build and conversion. I am looking to do a street/strip build and try to keep the original dash (with slight modification of course) and doors with the car. Has anyone been able to put a legal cage together that allowed them to keep the original dash and doors? I have looked at several threads and have a lot of ideas but I want to do it right and safe at the same time, as well as leaving room for additions later as the racing bug gets me addicted. The other issue is that I am 6'4" and will need leg room so the farther back the horizontal bar on the main hoop the better. Thanks in advance for the ideas and pics.

Got an engine, thanks to Mike Kelly. Will work on the tranny at a later date. Thanks for the help.

Looking to buy a V8 and Manual Trans for a Conversion on my 77 280Z. Hoping to find a LS1,2,3 and T56 Tranny. Just don't want to spend a small fortune on a setup with 200,000 miles. Any suggestions? Jason

Down anyone know of a company that sells complete door skins for 280z non-2+2. I want the whole door instead of the lower 8 inch patch. I have search high and low and can not find it anywhere. This all came about after getting my car back from the media blaster to discover a horrible dent repair on the drivers door. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay everyone, this is my first post to HybridZ. I am starting my new prodject of a restoration and V8 conversion on my '77 280Z. I did alot of research to find the most cost effective way to build or buy a rotisserie. Nothing I could find came out cheaper thn my design idea, even the engine stand posts that I found here. So here is what I came up with. 1 2000 lb engine hoist, extendable legs but not foldable. $80.00 that I found at a scrap yard 7ft 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 X 3/16 Square tubing, 8" of 3" SCH 40 Pipe (Cut into 2 4" pieces), and 16" of 2" SCH 40 Pipe (cut into 2 8" pieces). $71.36 from a local metal shop. 6 3" swivel casters and 4 cans of black spray paint. $42.00 from Lowes I disassembled the cherry picker and cut everything at the welds saving everything including the brackets. You will use these again later. Using a band saw I cut the ends straigt and made the following materials: 3X3 Tubing / 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 Tubing 2 52" / 2 45" 2 25" / 2 22.5" 2 22.5" / 2 17" 2 14" / 1 84" 4 3" (with lock bolts) I used the hyd jack from the Cherry picker also then took another from my cherry picker for temp use. If the picturs dont discribe everything then I can try to explain if you need help. I did all of the welding myself so don't judge the welds. Only the third time in my life that I have welded but I got better as the welds continued. Once assebled and the car was put on the rotisserie I put in saftey pins for the pivot point at 90 deg intervals, and on the uprights when the car was at spinning height. With the extendable upright I have from 30" to 50" of hight travel. Let me know what everyone thinks.
