I'm BACK good to see your work I will be reading it tonight...To catch up I am looking into custom dashes I will be posting pictures soon.

Cool...Let me know if you have any more questions. I am also building a VK45 setup...Have the parts now. It will be a cruiser. PS Nice choice on paint...My first choice was the Viper Blue w/ White stripes but the painter ran off with the parts and paint. I will be going mild Porsche metallic silver.

Will be listing in the item for sale section with pictures and descriptions...As soon as I can.

I have some items that I need to sell to fund the madness. See attached HybridZ stuff for sale.txt

I am back on it! I am going get my car in for the welding this month. Will take lots of pictures.

It's been awhile...I am putting a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L Tau engine 378 hp @ 6500RPM Yahoo....and a ZF 6 speed automatic in my Mitsubishi Van. And rebuilding my Suzuki Swift GT.

It's been too long BUT I just got my new shifter for the Tremec T56. And am waiting for finances to send to the welder/fabricator

Cool...Yeah I will be delivering the Z to the welder for mounts, exhaust, roll bar (install), and reinforcement. Next month caliper mounts, driveshaft, rack n pinion and finish exhaust...Hopefully

I have some New Forged 351w Blower/Turbo pistons for sale $250 plus shipping and lots of turbochargers.

Just picked up a T56 Magnum and I might pick up a second 240Z 72' for my Jim Wolf Turbo Motor. Things will be slow over the hollidays.

Sure...I'm not as complete as I'd like. But after this next month I will have the welding done hopefully and more answers. I need the rack n pinion setup installed to see if the tires rub anything. I also will probably go with a road racing oil pan (big bucks $350) for more clearance. I am also working on the LSD, CV's and fuel cell. Etc.

Not...The A/C is controlled from left to right. I have two systems one from a 98' Lincoln MK8 (not dual zone) then I noticed that the Ford Expedition had front vents that where more like the Z's (Dual Zone...Left to Right).

Cool...Yes I don't know for sure which path I'll take until I have everything in hand and try doing it. So I too might go the two shafts and joints also. I have to have a lot of welding done before I can remove the motor and trans. I am putting in a dual zone A/C and heater, and ABS???

I am running a 3650 also and I started out modifing the trans crossmember but made a mistake and desided to go with JagsThatRun's crossmenber Part# DAT-106 and here is the link: http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_DAT200.html. I will pull out the research on the crossmember...The mistake was that I flipped the mounting area when I had it welded. I didn't roll the engine but am for now planning on using a steering piece that came from a Toyota V-6 4X4, Toyota Van, and Mitsubishi (i think is the same) Which will allow you to run the streering rod straight to in front of the motor and back at the steering rack...Also working out the rotation of the rack which might be a problem since the rack has odd shaped mounts. I didn't rotate the motor by using Ford Expedition motor mount recievers and mounts...THey come on the 4.6L and the 5.4L. Still a work in progress. I'll read your request again after I eat something and see if I missed something.

Here are the latest pictures of the height of the car and keeping the tires inside the wheel wells.

Yeah...I am taking it one step at a time. I have a friend that is a great welder and he is going to do the mounts, some reinforcement, and mods. I will be going with a fuel cell after all and with the spare tire cut out I will have room for the dual mufflers. Also I am still having problems fitting the 8 1/2" X 18" rims and the coilover kit. I have 350's (7") up front and 440's (7) in the rears. So I am thinking of going to a 4" spring the same rating or some 8" 225's up front with 10" 200's rear.

One more step towards getting the mounts and exhaust welded...These pictures are without complete suspension adjustment and the Differential. I measured, measured and measured and still need to make adjustments. I can't wait.

Wow I am wiped out...Didn't notice the pun. It's good to hear from someone out there. I'll have this sucker on the ground for the first time in many years.

I got some more of my machined parts and will have the car on the ground this weekend...The caliper brackets will be done in (3) weeks (Machinist needs a two week brake). Here are some pictures.

well after a day of assembly and machine work I got the front strut assy's done and tomorrow I will be doing the rears and the brakes. Yahoooooo

I also had problems with the brakes fitting but is now perfect..Here are some examples:

Well I have changed my mind on the Starion wheels and Z32 brakes for now (because I would have to flare the fenders and more) So I went back to the big 14" Brembo brakes and the Mercedes Benz 18"X8.5" rims with small 225's on them now. I have coilovers and camber plates also put a half inch spacer on all 4's and went long ARP studs and had everything redrilled for the 112mm X 5 lug pattern. I checked the ground clearance which for now will be 5.5" (stock is 6.3") and when I need tires I will be putting 255/40R18's on them. The machine shop has been pushing the work for the last 3 weeks but claims that everything will be done next week...YEAH Also I am either going to polish these or powder coat...Have'nt decided yet. Below are pictures of both Starion setup and the Mercedes setup.

PS I got most of my stereo stuff also see pictures...I will most likely use the Nakamichi stuff

The 4.6's are usually low mileage and cheap at Pick Your Parts or Ecology. Also they are only 10hp from the Cobra Motors in LSC form.
