2Forty

In my rush to get the brakes installed I never noticed that I was using the hubs from a 280. Swapped out the hubs and everything looks good. One small step for man, another small step among many left to complete this beast.

I bought S12W calipers from Checker. Got a .5" spacer from ModernMotorsports. Got vented rotors from Autozone. I can't tighten the caliper mounting bolts all the way and the rotor is rubbing against the caliper mounting bolt bosses. I have done searches on various websites and found nothing that compares to my problem.

Bought 72 in 1988 $2,000 complete TBI eng 1,000 700r4 550 JTR kit 165 Hooker hdrs 200 still need:fuel pump, fuel cell, exhaust

Same for me. Pulled old engine and removed entire rear end. Going to put in R200 next, maybe tomorrow. Good luck!

I need advice on a fuel pump for the 90 truck TBI 350 I picked up for my 72 240Z. I found an old Hot Rod magazine that did a write up on EFI/TBI and it says I only need 9 psi. I would like to install a fuel cell in place of the spare tire well and ditch the stock tank. My plan is to use a transverse muffler set up like Firebird/Camaro. Can I get an in tank pump for the fuel cell or shelf that idea? I was kind of intimadated by the wiring issue for the TBI but the driveability aspect has merits. Anyone with a TBI have the large bore TBI setup?

I have a set of center caps for my Libre wheels that are nasty bad pitted. I've been to a local chrome shop and they said the caps couldn't be plated. Anyone have a referal to a good chrome shop?

I've seen a round fuel cell here somewhere and was wondering who makes it. Also, what would be a good fuel pump for a SBC with TBI?

I just picked up an R200 3.7 lsd. Should I use the turbo cv half-shafts or stick with the stock 240? Also, what gear lube is needed for the lsd? I have most of the parts to complete the swap but got sidetracked when I picked up a clean 73. Will the madness ever end?

Any opinions on what the best front brake setup is? Preferably bolt on. Something a step or two above toyota 4x4 calipers.

Just about ready to pull the old engine and 4 speed and was wondering what to do about a new brake pedal. Pick up one from an automatic Z or is there something more exotic?

It's my understanding that British TVR's use a destroked small block that turns close to 9000 rpms. Look to England laddie.

I have a small rust hole on passenger side above frame rail. What would be the "best" repair? Weld in a small patch, braze, or POR15 epoxy?

That's what I did in 1989. Found one in Phoenix (looked at about 10) and drove it back to Cleveland. I retired and moved back to Phoenix! The pickings are getting slimmer however. Find one and I'll take a peek for you. I met a woman from my brother's church that still drives her 73' Looked great and no rust. She doesn't want to sell, I asked.

Any recommendations on block hugger headers? I have seen many on EBay for less than $100.00. Hookers are over $200.00. I'd like ceramic coated or chrome.

I was driving down Main Street in Mesa, Az around noon when I saw a 75 or so 280Z with no grille or hood but a big Chromed Blower sticking out of the engine bay. Couldn't tell what kind of engine it had but it sounded mean.
