Mike, mine is a Tremtec 6 Speed Manual and no structural altering at all. I just like the idea of having something not many do and to preserve history of coarse. My engine sits on a cradle and then a direct bolt in, no cutting etc anywhere. 2832 lbs and drives like a caddy...well almost. Im just wanting to increase the WOW factor later but not 800HP!!! Maybe 500 or so...Id like all my cars to be at least 12 sec daily drivers withthe exception of the CorZette, that will be a 9 sec car in the future...Anyways keep the Bigblock they are a special build to own....

I hear ya Mike. I def understand that. Like Scotty once told me if ya can get your 60 foot down a couple of tenths you WILL run a 10. I KNOW your car has that or better in the launch with good tires. Time for some QTPs!

"I am the first duaghter of an ex military/ex president
been an opposition party to the present Government of
COTE D`IVOIRE. On the 19th sept 2002 my father/mother
including every members of our family was murdered by
the unknown REBELS during the time they attack our
house by shooting and looting, even this is one of the
things that contributed to the present crisis in our
country today.
God so kind I was not in town when the incident
occurred, the plans of the REBELS is to kill every
members of our family so that no one will rise up to
revenge as time goes on. I am in our country without
any one knowing although I am on hiding so that the
unknown REBELS will not get to me and kill me like
they killed all the members of our family. Why I still
stay back in our country is to transfer the $18.5mUSD
which my late father deposited in the custody of
one of the SECURITY ASSISTANCE COMPANY,here in Abidjan,he
deposited the fund as a family treasure containing
AFRICAN ART WORK FOR EXPORT for security reasons, as
security company does not operate as bank where some
one can deposit his/her money openly.
Before the death of my father he gave me the covering
documents of the fund deposited in the security
company, as I am his first duaghter and he so much
loved me that was why he made me the beneficiary of
the two iron trunk boxes containing the $18.5mUSD.
Right now I wish to transfer this fund to you so that
you will assist me to invest the money into any viable
sector in your country, also you will help me to join
you in your country for me to start up a new life with
you there immediately the fund gets to you. since I am
no longer safe as far as Africa is concern at the
moment, I wanted to transfer the fund before leaving
the country because this fund is my last hope and the
only hope I have now.
Before I even pick you to assist me I have prayed and
slept over it asking God to provide for me a Godly
minded person that will assist me in this transaction.
I will give you more details of the transaction in my
next mail with my pictures so that you will know me.
Awaiting to here from you.
Thanks and God bless you.
Rose Guei."

On my build it is very sensative on timing. If I have it advanced too much it will foul the plugs everytime. I have alot of seat time tuning this setup and it absolutely runs its best with about 6 advance initial timing period the end. When its hot out 4 advance is even better. When it s around 50 to 60 maybe 8 to 10 advance but no more. Im running the 750DP AFR190s MDS everything, dual plane Roller cam 510/520 at 110 LS, 2 1/2 duals all the way back out of 1 5/8 Block Huggers, Dual PLane. I initially ran it at 16 advanced and fouled all the plugs after one run. Yes I changed the jetting a 100 times and stayed with 70/76. 76 rear jets gave me my best 60 footers at 1.59 Stock 750DP 04779C came with 71/80. My best MPH came with 72/82s but the ET suffered. I also converted to the Proform main body. Just thought that may help some. The best way to find out the best timing is by ET and MPH but the weather changes all that...I will never need a timing light again for the 240...all I do now is advance or retard the timing according to the temp outside. I must also say that this car and tuning is incredibly consistent. I placed third last month here at the brackets and lost to the previous track owner of 20 plus years by only .001 secs! I dialed a 11.99 and ran a 12.00 with a .579 light to his dial of 10.10 running a 10.17 with a .529 light. I won 5 straight before the finals all within .01 or so. Oh 9:7:1 compression 92 Octane.

FastZ, yes. I guess Ill keep the T56 on second thought just for the wow factor but a Rat in my opinion should outrun the mouse with similiar weight. The 396 in it is mostly stock as far as HP gaining components go. I think a 454 with some good Aluminum heads and decent cam i.e. Comp XE268H or so would be nice. The block and mounting would be identical so why not add a few cubes! Im also upgrading the black sled too so the BBC may have to wait awhile when I get back! Thanks for the comments!!

I have a 396 BB in my 280, soon to be 454 or 502 in about three years....

I just found out that a 700R4 weighs 184 pounds and the T350 is only 119!!! Damn thats a savings of 65 pounds and less parasitic power loss. Mike I bet we could gain at least 3 tenths by swapping them out. The T350C has the lockup available as well...but with a 3500 stall and a 27 inch tire we wouldnt need it really... Hey I have a Raptor fully built top of the line 700R4 for sale!!!
Terry
-
Mike, great numbers but I agree with ya about the 700R4. I think Im gonna throw in a T350 when I get back since I dont need anymore for highway cruising. I may just throw it in the Orange one and sell the T56 later on. Let us know how she progresses!

One of these days all of our Zs are gonna be worth more than the Viper, just stay alive for another 20 years and remember I told ya so! Slowly but surely they will increase in value. Thats why I want to have at least 4 or 5 by the time I get back to work on and keep....next project is gonna be Ls1 or the like with pro charger and wide body like Dan Js. Man I cant wait to get back....damn!
Terry
-
Thanks Grumpy! Oh your rear main cap you gave me while in Okinawa almost three years ago is still holding up fine...now Im going back to Japan.....hmmmmm. Did you say that was a Dart Aluminum block...thats the route Im going when I return. With the raised cam positon a 396 stroker shouldnt be a hard thing to do right? Would it be a better investment to just go with a 400 Small block and stroke it....price wise?

Well ughh just paid $18,000 for the Orange BBC 396 280Z T56 and soon to be a 468 with AFR 335s....lol...oh damn then we will need the R230 upgrade as well......then Ross's stubs....ugh....damn.....

Hmmm couldnt we just measure the mounting point difference side by side and have a shop remount the perches? I have an extra set of 240 rears and I just bought this BBC 396 280Z so I can measure the difference if anyone is interested. Im sure the relocation of the perch would not be expensive or time consuming to have it done...anyone interested? I think putting lowering springs on to make up the difference may put undue stress on the travel of your struts by keeping them partially compressed at all times...just thinking into this a little...

If its a drag car put in an auto and convertor to match or your car may really be a drag rather than good at it...However if its the windies you like keep the stick. Damn ur car looks alot like my new BBC 280Z...nice color! Nice vids too! Im already thinking about putting in a Turbo 400 auto as well, just waste too much time shifting and of coarse the possiblities of missing a shift or over reving etc. I blew up alot of trannies in the past learning how to drag with them. I cant afford to blow up a T56, way too expensive! Beautiful car man!
Terry

LMAO! Go for it! That would be cool if we wouldnt get in trouble for it! HaHaHAHA.
Terry

Amen, wouldnt have it any other way...well I just spent $18,000 on the 280 BBC T56 show car I just got so I must be hooked...

ZFAN, just run a wire from the Tranny plug to a switch with a positive feed on the dash somewhere. As you line up just turn the switch on. When it shifts into third it will lock up automatically and disengage as it down shifts. Thats all there is to it. I use it all the time in cruising. Almost like having a gear between 3rd and 4th.
