[Would anyone like a "cheap" SBF write up?]

well I ended up selling my z (too many projects, too little time)

The highlights of my plan was:

use alsils mounts

use a c4 trans(fits just fine)

use the jags that run trans mount for a chevy swap. Will need holes drilled.

get a driveshaft made from the stock z shaft

reuse the r160 rear diff (unless you have a built engine, then go r200 or even r230 (with custom axls (from msa) and a custom mount(a hybridz guy sold them)

use a carb and a hei style distributor.

[Windshield install?]

also, now instead of we, its just me. I will try to remeber to pickup tape on tuesday.

[Windshield install?]

no no, i can't get the bloody rubber onto the glass, never mind into the car. Thanks for all the help, i really just think i need more hands.

[Windshield install?]

i am a hour into it and i am still at square one. whatever i do the freaking rubber pops off the other side from what i am working on. Its driving me insane.

[Windshield install?]

thanks again.

[Windshield install?]

Thanks, I will go pick up some rope. Now i have the gasket on the car, will it be easier to get the glass in the gasket or the gasket onto the car again once the glass is in the gasket?

[Windshield install?]

anyone know how to install the windshield in a 240z? i have the rubber grommet seated but getting the glass in is proving difficult.

I was thinking free with some google ads at the worst, and cheap ass, as in c4+ carb+ home made engine mounts +r180 with provisions to swap the r200 later.

I wil be building a efi system based off mega squirt later. Right now i am talking the shortest way to a running car.

 

I picked up a working c4 for 50 dollars

I picked up a carb manifold for 60

I got the motor(89 351w out of a bronco) for a old f350 cab

carb is a holley 4160 from said f350

distributor from summit for 150

 

Sure its not perfect, but it will run and I am into the whole car for less than 1k, and I will be over the major hurdle of getting it in and running. Once there I can do coil overs, a manual valve bodied aod(4 speed) trans, a r200, a engine rebuild and a cv swap. Too many people seem to give up before that because they never get it running.

We have the extreamly well done write up done by Z8driver along with extensive documentation spread over many threads by blueovalz and alsil, but no real low buck/easy offerings like the chevy guys have.

 

Would you guys read a low budget "get the bloody thing in and running damn it!" kind of write up?

[351W a tight fit...]

Or, rather than f**cking around with pans from a 70 econo line or what ever, one could just get http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FMS%2DM%2D6675%2DA58&N=700+400070+309332+115&autoview=sku

and know that its going to work. As its been mentioned, the 351 is a front pump/front sump set up. The 302 out of a fox body is a front pump/rear sump set up. They sell a pan and new pickup for putting a 351 where the 302 used to be. Simple as pie.
