    FINALLY STARTED MY REAR DISK SWAP

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    Well for all of those that have gone before me, I now share half of your excitement. I started my rear disk swap today. Man It was a beach to get the dust cover off with a hack saw :shock: But it was accomplished. Man that setup looks so sweet I just want to sit and look at it. :D Now I have to do the other side tomorrow! Has anyone done the 280ZX Brake booster and MC swap into your 240? Was it a direct bolt in? Do I really need a spacer and turn the booster upside down? More to come!!!!

    Amen to that...I hate everyone too ...uh..well except for the Z brothers and sisters! :D But seriously, government and policy has gone too far. I do live in the country with 4 acres and I love it. The Marine Corps background helped alot too. My kids are now old enough and programmed the right way that I dont have to worry much about them being one of those kids. My son always comes homes telling me how stupid the kids at school are etc.. He is in JROTC and it has been the best thing for him....I watched him change and influence my other two kids beyond belief....life is good so far....

    Retrofit Hydraulic roller Cam

    Be advised that the retrofit hydraulic roller lifters are expensive as hell! I think around $400+! from Comp cams....also make sure they dont sell you stuff that is being discontinued. They have done that crap to me twice, once on KB106 pistons and again on the rollers.....be aware when you order to ask the questions...

    Lol! Roger that! Im already freaking out when I get on it now...I havent gotten used to it. Once it hits third gear its like that Racer X feeling on Speed racer... :D Ive never driven anything faster than 13.7 down the strip so one step at a time I guess... thanks for the input..

    Thought I would throw this out....I found a SBC 400 never bored short block for $100. Its an old Mexican guy that wants to sell it. He said the block is good and he will guarentee it. Question is what do I do initially to freshen it up? Get it tanked amd magnafluxed? Also should I bore out the steam holes? Finally have new freeze plugs installed I assume. I want it to put on my engine stand until Im ready to build it. Should I have the crank turned 10 thousandths as well for the hell of it? Also how much should I have it bored? Is 30 over a good start? Finally should I have all the parts balanced? I dont know all involved between internal and external balancing. which one is best?

     

    Question for Grumpy! I want to put my AFR 190s on this engine possibly. My cam is the Comp cams XR282, 520/510. Im running the Holley750DP AFR match ported intake and will run the 1 5/8 block huggers until I can get the Sanderson 1 3/4 Long tubes. I will use my current 5.7 eagle rods full floaters. I will go with some flat top hypers as well and total seal rings. Can anyone estimate the HP in Desk Top dyno? I need to know if my HP/TQ will be better using the AFR190 heads as compared to the 350. My last dyno said 379.4 RWHP so it should be close to 450 off the 350 crank. AFRs build showed that so its close. How will the 406 do in comparison with the same add ons above? I dont want to spend a ton more on new stuff....

     

    ZFAN, if this works out, I may go 406 vice 383....$100 is $100...I hope the block is intact.

     

    Thanks in advance......

    Well I am now a member of the Jack Stand Racing Crew. For what its worth here are my current projects that will start December 8th:

     

    1. Change Tranny filter and install Megavalve (Booster valve .500) :)COMPLETE

    2. Install new rear strut caps from Tim240Z :)Dont need to, fixed the problem

    3. Install upgraded 280ZX Brake Booster and MC from Denny411 COMPLETE:-D

    4. CV axle upgrade from Ross :)COMPLETE :lol:

    5. Rear Disk upgrade from Ross :DComplete...

    6. Do complete torque check on all bolts :o

    7. Put 1/4 inch spacer under rear diff mount to cure drive shaft vibrations. I have the solid mount so it should be easy enough. DONT NEED IT ANYMORE :?Dont need to now because vibs were coming from rear drums...problem solved.

    So I guess Ill be busy enough for the winter. Then its off to the track when they open at Wall Raceway here in town in March....

    700R4 Filter Change and Throttle Valve Upgrade

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    Brothers, Im doing a 700R4 Filter Change and Throttle Valve Upgrade. Ive never opened the bottom of a tranny before. How do I change the Tranny filter, where is it located and how hard is it to change out the Throttle valve? I am upgrading to the .500 mega valve for xtra firm shifts. It already has a Transgo shift kit in it but I didnt change the TV when I did it. Anyone know about this stuff?
