Yes they did.. quite a few I think. $12.99

Tada! Im taking a wild guess in thinking the stock color on the trans is blue.. oh well, it looks good I think. For some wierd reason, the kit didnt include the coil, plug wires, and most wierd.. alternator mount. The alternator just floats in midair under the mysterious rigidness of the belt

Progress... Motor is almost finished.. my digi cam doesnt do macro, so this is the best close up I can do.

Here ya go..http://www.diecastx.com/store/product985.html

Revell Model # 85-2392 Im typing with one hand right now waiting for the paint on the block to dry

350 LT1.. Im gonna get paint for it and build it tonight. Ive already assembled the corvette for practice.. I havent built a model in a LONG time.

OK.. its fixed

dang... I'll fix the pic l8r, I gotta go.

Hehe... I saw these right next to each other in a hobby shop, and couldnt pass em up. Corvette will be donor car Since I cant build my REAL V8 Z anytime soon, this will have to do for now.. More pics soon.

Holy crap dude... Im having the exact same problem! 21yo, 5'11", I used to eat EVERYTHING and weigh around 140lbs, hard as a rock. Then I moved to WV. I've gained like 30lbs in like 4 months. I've never had wieght like this before and its freaking me out. I've figured it out though. Im not currently riding dirtbikes. Back in Utah, I rode old dirtbikes and 3 wheelers like mad every chance I got. Motorcross is the 2nd most physically demanding sport in the world. (Soccer being #1) If you ever see those guys AFTER a 15 minute race, they normally collapse in exhaustion. every single muscle in your body is FULLY tense continuously when riding FULL OUT I dont have a bike right now, and thats why Im turning into butter (and all Im doing is sitting at the puter all day too!) Get a bike dude... find some dirt to ride it, and ride hard a couple of hours a week.. the lbs will MELT off in no time, and its FUN!! Im desperatly trying to find a bike myself. Doesnt even need to be anything special. My last bike was a '74 yamaha DT360 that I paid $100 for. P.S. If anybody in the mid ohio valley wants to get rid of a dirtbike for cheap. LEMME KNOW!!!!!!

OMG..... Aux, where did you find those pics?? It must be a huge diesel for a ship or something but I wanna learn more about it

I still think the best BANG for your buck when your bored is to make piccolo pete bombs. 3 piccolo petes (Cheap dumb whistling fireworks), 2liter bottle, plastic bag, 1 nail, hammer, and 5 minutes.. those few things can make a very powerful and reliable (Never had a dud) BOOM! Bout as strong as an authentic M80. Great for blowing up old TV's.. hehe.. I wont go into all the details here, email me if ya wanna know how to build em. I blew up all of our leftover pumpkins from halloween with a few

hehe.. Snatch (the movie people.. the movie) kicks @$$. But you really should make that avatar a bit smaller

I live in Parkersburg WV... just south and accross the river of Marietta. I moved out here from Utah about a month and a half ago. Population out here is accually dropping. Crime rate is non existant. Compared to Utah, this place is GREAT, although there isnt really much to "do" here. Didnt take me too long to find a job at a computer repair business. Cost of living is quite cheap, compared to Utah anyway. TONS of houses for sale. Next thing I gotta do is go back to Utah this fall and drag my Z back here

Sorry if somebody already posted this, but I just found out... http://www.darius240z.com Its finally up!!

Well, Im moving to Parkersburg, WV in a few days and just wondering if there are any V8Z's out there.. BTW, Im driving my donor 69' chev pickup out there. Whether it'll make it or not is a different story.

Well, I am currently attempting the impossible myself, I am rebuilding a TH400. Im about 80% done with it. I do know that the park pawl is completely mechanical, no fluid involved. So if the trans is working in other gears, its either the linkage is inproperly aligned, or the pawl itself is snapped. Hope that helps.

Excuse me if you already noticed, but did you know there is a V8-Z hidden in that site? Goto site map in the upper left, then featured rides... in bottom left hand corner, click the little itty bitty red Z.

The 350 from my truck (going in the Z soon) has always been been quite weak under 3k, then after that, it turns on like a lightswitch. I recently realized,(or re-realized anyway) it has an older torker manifold, is that whats killing my low end? Will a performer give me more lower end torque?

SWEET! I also have a 69' 3/4 ton (ol' blue) thats the donor vehicle for my 280z. I've had the truck for 11 years of reliable daily service, and its getting tired with approx 336k miles. But the motor isnt, so its going in the Z. Mine is a 350, with the original 4 bolt block. Thats right folks... 336k miles on the original block and still running strong. my motor has a HUGE canister style filter. If yours doesnt have the newer style filter adapter I would presume it has the same "toilet paper tube" style insert that goes in the canister. They are a pain in the butt, but work really well. As for the plugs n wires... eh not sure... I have newer heads off a 78' with the peanut plugs, and an HEI, which works sweet compared to points.

Just saw THIS On ebay.. thought some peeps would be interested.. -JJ

Got it from the center of the steering wheel from the 69 chevy pickup the engine will be coming from. Perfect size, and it has a small mounting post on the back, so all I did was drill a tiny hole in the center of the Z and push the bowtie over it. -JJ

Hehehe

Anybody know of a site that has a zcar vin calculator? Just wonderin what this thing originally had. -JJ

Im gonna check with the my local DMV soon to find out, but what did you guys exactly have to do to get these things legal on the road? How exactly does the registration and emmissions work? Personally, I think this old truck motor gets better emmissions than the original 280z. Im in Utah BTW, and if anybody knows about the laws here, lemme know.... -JJ
