MONZTER

AHHHHHHH Still waiting for my long block to get back from machine shop jail Hi Tony

Hi Guys, I really just don’t have the time to build much right now. I have some heavy deadlines going on at work, so not much car work right now. Really it is a simple part. Just put a pc of paper over the holes and scrub the paper with a crayon. Draw some circles around the hole tracings and connect the dots. I cut mine out with a band saw and sanded it straight with a disc sander and drum sander. You can do it I know it. This would be a great first fab project for someone. Good luck MONZTER

I think the .100 weld els would do it with out a problem, there just heavy and not many options for a bend radius. I have seen some great looking manifolds made from els. MONZTER

Thanks, It has a wet clutch, no noise and feels great. Been riding to work everyday, I love it so far. Jeff

HAHAAH Thats true, but I think you will have a hard time finding any 304 in thicker than .065, unless you use weld els BTW a cracked 304 manifold will cost more than a good 321 one:grin: MONZTER

Well it did cost 11.00 to fill it up today I will follow the owners manual and try to keep it below 5000RPM for 500 miles, and lots of stop and go. Jeff

So I got Her a "twin" Isn't she pretty? And yes,I will use common sense and always were protection while I have fun with it. This will keep me entertained while the turbo motor is getting finished... MONZTER

What, Fram filters are the best... HA just kidding, that was the biggest Ford Filter I could find. I was using it for mocking up the mounts and coil packs, just wanted to make sure there was room for it all. I am thinking about getting one of the pure power billet cleanable ones. Anyone seen them?

It’s actually about 1/2 inch away, and I have made urethane engine mounts for the engine and trans, so the movement is next to nothing. (those are moustache bar bushings for the engine mounts) I actually just made new engine mounts to set it back 3/4 inch

I have a new shortblock in the works. 87.5mm JE pistons with 240 rods race preped. The crank 79mm stroke has been lightened about 4 lbs and knife edged. Its at the shop getting the mains line bored. I will use this block for testing, while I work on my other one I plan for the future.

I finally finished it up. Welded the 2 halves together, polished out all of the surface machining marks, integrated the BOV, and drilled and tapped all of the vacuum fittings. Here are some new pics.

Were the pictures taken on Santiago canyon? I love driving my Z on that road

I have used a 1/2 NPT to -10 on mine, no problems at all

check these out http://www.sivalves.com/ocforeign_valvessp_nis.html They are what I have been told Nissan Comp sells. About $8.00 each and you can buy them direct. I have them in 2 heads and never a problem

What is not a pipe thread? The head or your fitting? I'm pretty sure the head is a 1/2 NPT at least my N-42 and P-90 is
