Blakt Out

Read, read, reading... Thanks to all. Any other thoughts?

Absolutely. Thanks much guys.

"where to start! There are so many ways to build up an L28. It doesn't sound like money is a problem for you so build the kind of engine that you've always dreamed about. First answer a few basic questions..." Well, money always is an issue, but in the whole idea of this, I'm pretty open. I can do some crazy stuff quickly if it's what I end up wanting. Modding these cars will be much cheaper than the fully modded 911 that I have, you know? The P-car really took the whole shock value out of the cost of modifications. 1 N/A or turbo I really want to stay N/A. I can't really tell you why, other than that I want to keep the interior the same (no boost gauges and such) as well as the driving experience. I've done the 350V8 in a Z before, and it wasn't my cup of tea. So I want to make the most out of an L6. 2. Stock or modified Completely modified. Just as long as it's an L6 from a Z or Maxima and looks really clean under the hood, I'm good. 3. Rear Wheel Horse Power goals I don't really know. I was really working from the idea of making the most reliable, streetable, N/A Hp out of the L6 that I can. Maybe around 250-325??? 4. race car, drag car, show car, or Sundays on the twistys Sundays on the twisties would be the best answer out of these choices. Honestly, it's really a 'closure' thing for me. I used to be addicted to these cars, but never could afford to do for myself what I really wanted. I want something really special. If I end up with $50k in this car, it would be worth it for me. I also don't want to go so far that it won't run on 93 octane, overheats, or doesn't like to start in general. If you want lots of power from your L28 I would recomend turbo. If you want lots of power but you want to stay N/A then there are a tone of different head and fuel combos for you to play with. As I said, no turbo. I just took my NA new 911S and boosted it. Don't want to do it to both cars. My personal favorate N/A set up would be the shaved P90 (or P79) head it gives you 10:1 CR with the best combustion chamber design. I love high compression. You could go with a stock bottom end or you could stroke it (3.0 or 3.1). Stroke it for sure. I hope this helped, Matt- Thanks so much, Matt. It did.

Hey everyone, Short history: I'm 28. Paid for college restoring 240Zs and selling them, as well as parts. I've had 13, but never could afford to keep one myself. Now, I have a 'real' job and have fully built up a 2006 911, supercharger and all. But I have a hole in my 'car heart'. So I just bought a beautiful, solid 1972 240Z 4speed... totally original, on eBay. No rust whatsoever, and as straight as an arrow. It's the lemon-lime color (which is my all time fave). So. I'm also building a full on, professional grade garage and this car is the first one that I'll build in there. It's going down to the sheetmetal. The interior will be redone just like stock but in leather. I'm going to build a 3.1L stroker and want it naturally aspirated with triples (if that's still the way to go). What's the head to go with with this? E88 still? I really need a refresher course on this. I don't know if I want to build the engine or if I should go to someone else, like JG Engine Dynamics (which was the place to go to before... who now?) So I'm so happy and proud to be a part of this community. Thanks much for the replies ahead of time. Bring me up to speed. How do I go about getting the right parts for this engine. What kind of power can I expect? Rock on. I'll throw up pics of my car when I get it. Also, I'll change my avatar then as well. Jared
