  1. Hello I hope this isnt a stupid question but im trying to build a sbc on a budget so i bought a short block and later bought some vortex heads and im planing on running a carb with it. I know edlebrock sells a intake that you can use with vortex heads and some kid at school today (im in a tech college for automotive) told me that they make intakes for ls1 heads that you can use a carb with. my question is should i keep using the vortex heads with a carb or should i try to pick up some ls1 heads and run those with a carb? is there any difference between the two if your not running efi? or have i fallen victim to a snake oil salemen? :unsure:

  2. Hello Im still kinda new here, but i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of gauges these are. They are from a car featured on speedhunters i saw a while back and i love the way they look, here the link to post: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011/10/21/car-feature-gt-gt-star-road-s30-fairlady-z.aspx.

    If you guys dont know what those exact ones are does anyone know of any similar ones, anything kinda of like glowshift gauges. I really like the light up gauges like that and would love to find some for my z. Extra points if you can get a black/bright green combo like the glowshifts. :)

    Sorry if this has been asked before, im not to sure of what i should search for on the forums for it.

  3. Thanks for the input stony, probably going to stick with the SBC swap for now then. :( id love to get an rb into it but ill just have to wait till a get a career job or see how much money i can get from finical aid next year lol i wanna get my car up and going so i can enjoy it no matter what engines in it.

  4. Hello guys this is my first post here and like i said i have a few questions, I have 75 280z which the PO had a 383 in it, im posting here because i would like to put an RB in it. So my first question would be has anyone on here gone from a SBC to RB before in a S30? How much money do you guys think that it would be or would it be better to save this idea for a different datsun? The SBC that was in the car before was a carb engine and its basically ready to have a SBC dropped right back into it i.e. it has the throttle cable in place, it has the custom driveshaft, etc. I mainly want to do this swap cause i have seen how awesome RB25 and 26s are. And my other question is whats the different between a RB25 and RB26? is it a 25 thats bored out or is it a completely different engine?

     

    And if this is in the wrong spot sorry and feel free to move it to what forum it needs to be in. :)
