I t hionk I read once where the Nimitz could launch a VW about a quarter mile before it hit the water.

WHAT??? Flamed by a person who is doing a swap to an engine that doesn't even have Pistons??

I am putting a 350 into my '84. What transmission do you want to use? From what I have read here, the stock R-200 rearend will be strong enough to handle about anything you want to drop in. I removed the V-6 and the engine wiring harness. When the v-6 is out there is a lot of room for a chevy. The biggest prob seems to be with the left exhaust and the steering. I'm using block huggers, but I've heard that the stock iron manifold will clear the steering. Height is tight, but the engine will fit under the hood. Hood clearance is a problem for me , but that's because I'm running a vertex mag and stack injection, which is tall. SteveR and Darthmentos are doing this swap, and have pics posted somewhere on here. For the most part, it doesn't seem to be too hard to do. Use the search for 300zx. I'll try toput the pics I have in my personal gallery. If there are any questions I can help you with, just PM me. joe

Do you know what carter you have? The secondary jets are on the floor of the float bowl. I think you have to pull the top of the carb, and unscrew the jets.

Does any one have any more pics of the blue car?

Cheez Mike, Can't you be just a little enthusiastic? That is sure one sweet looking ride. Congrats!!

That's right, just go out and buy one of those, and the next thing we'll hear is that you lost interest in you Z. BTW, how will it look on Jack stands??

Finally got the JSR tag attached to my sig! Now if I only had a clue as to how I did it. O well, one should not inspect the dental work of an equine present.

I go all over this valley looking for stuff anytime I need a part for my ZX. At first I thought yu meant has anyone ever gone out and shot a vulture.

I finally saw a BMW that I really liked. It was an 850i (I think) There is a pic of one in my personal gallery.

How about a jackstand?

Its all so true. But I still can't figure out how to change that bulb.

Man if there's anybody that you don't want to piss off, its a postal worker. You could be taking your life in your hands. Hope yhou had your Kevlar HybridZ shirt on.

The guys that shot this must be having a nice vacation in a hotel with padded walls, and locks on the outside of the doors.

Nice work. Sweet car.

I would rather just buy a fiberglass hood, but since I am doing a Z31, there isn't one available that I have found. Actually there isn't much of anything availabe for a 31. I may go back to a carb to get some hood clearance (short injector stacks are another option, but changinng the length of the stacks will move my power curve up the rpm band),but still the mag is too tall for the engine compartment. Thanks everyone for the information on bonding the cowl. The answers that I get, are just another reason that this is the best sight on the net bar none. joe

I am going but a cowl induction insert from Summit, but before I do, can anyone explain to me how to bond and mold it in so it doesn't look really bad?

I've got the same problem, but luckily my grandson is in the local community college trying to become a mech. What ius even worse for me is that no one in the entire family (except the grandson) understands why I like mechanical things. They all think that a car is just for transportation.

Congratulations, that is a beautiful job!

Tim Those look great. I'll bet you'll be showing them to a lot of "performance cars"

Thanks.

Congrats!! Especially to you wife. She did most of the work. Can you email cigars?

This is getting really frustrating. I been trying to get my signiture to reflect my membership in the august ranks of JSR. and unless it shows up in this post, I may have to just do something monumentally lame. I just haven't figured out what yet. All I get is a red X, not an image. As I always say, "If you gonna be stupid, yah gotta be tough... I feel like the toughest SOB in JSR

I'm glad to hear that you're ok. Damn shame about your car though. I sincerly hope that you can get a good lawyer and the idiot that hit you replaces you Z. (Can you say Enzo?)

I don't care much for horses, except of course those eight clydesdales, then only when they are making a delivery to my house.
