Without flow numbers on the heads it would be guesswork, intake runner info all comes into play also, as well as header runner length and a bunch of other BS go into estimating horsepower. With some headflow and intake info though good guesses can be made.

There is actually a guy with a 69 Camaro with a 396 that lives in a trailer park, but being single for the most part I know what its like to dump money on toys and not other things. I wanted to buy it years ago and to my knowlege he still has it, and the trailer

Outrageous pricing figures were quoted, I dont know the guy but a local guy knows him and alot of other high profile car guys (Diablo guys, whatever). $250,000 house and a 3 car garage? Thats in Egypt right?

The paranormal has interested me/scared me my whole life (maybe it was the ghost shows on Halloween during my youth), yes the painting is freaky no matter when it was made or where it came from.

Waiting for synchronizer to arrive, I have the adapter for the DGVs already waiting though. If 2 DGVs were on a 2 liter car, then I'd say we were probably pretty lean, hmm.

This was an infamous eBay painting some 2-3 years ago (I think, maybe longer). From what I've heard its story was fraudulent, and people seem to generally analyze it as a fraud.

I had a first gen Firebird 400 and I got attention everywhere (dual 3" exaust with long tubes helped), trailer trash? Maybe a 3rd gen car, and soon to be 4th gens working thier way into trailer parks everywhere, but not a first gen - thats a collectible by now.

Actually, your not supposed to use sandpaper on plugs because it can leave deposits behind, just use a file...

5-7 HP from stamped rockers to 1.6 rollers usually from what I've seen, mostly I like the friction reduction but the minute amount of life increase isn't going to do much, and the friction reduction of course shows its bennies at higher RPMs not at the lower.

Mike, do you have more video? Using WMV it compresses pretty darn nicely, although it may not work for the *nix people(? I dont know really). Looks like a red Panoz in the mix also? RIGHT CLICK and SAVE TARGET AS or SAVE AS http://docmudge.tripod.com/240Z/datsunstart.zip I can setup a dedicated FTP which has pretty nice bandwidth, for those of us who'd like to see more

I think that is low, and I think just as crappily of uglypeople.com , its bad enough some folks are not totally "normal" and are going to be harrased through thier life as it is. Definately seems truly discusting, I dont like most of the reality shows either because its just lame human exploitation, people getting married over money and TV ratings also is wrong IMO. I wont be supporting these programs any time soon.

Ray, if you remember the jetting your using now that would be GREAT to know I have an F54 sitting around to be rebuilt eventually, so it would help put me in the ballpark. In the meanwhile I'm reading up on them trying to figure it out.

I am still reading one of the 2 books I bought on the Weber downdrafts, so I haven't figured it out yet either. I believe the car is running rich though. The 32/36 DGVs came on a Ford originally, I sure which I knew what size the engine was!

Sweet, thanks guys. My only problem now is locating either complete stub axles or getting the splined shafts put in place, or drop the whole idea and find an LSD unit from some other vehicle (R160 or etc).

Mark, what (car) were your Koni DAs made for? I ask because I know there are several other struts that can be used with shortened strut housing, and DAs would be nice, I have them on my other car

No kidding, I think were lucky. Buy them before they stop making them.

I hope thats what they meant, whew.

Bigtime strain on the engine, and you'd be in a non optimal gear so where you are in the powerband would not be pretty, in other words you'd be in a highly inneficient area of the RPM band to be going WOT. This means poor MPG also. Like said above, RPM is friction to a point as well, peak fuel comsumption versus RPM occurs guess when, peak torque output. Increase the RPM and you increase fuel consumption, but likewise running too low RPM is not only risky for proper oiling, but you will put the engine out of its efficiency range if your trying to cruise at 500 RPM with tons of throttle.

Chick magnet = BMW, Honduh Civic... etc Looks like I got in the last comments before the auto-lock.

Rock on! Thanks for the update Jeff

I'll post my Sears Point lap times when I get em

Those are some serious meats for such a little car, but it does look kinda icky sitting so high up (no engine?).

The more vacuum the engine makes, the more efficient, and generally power its making. Timing will greatly affect your vacuum, which on an FI engine you can generally look at your MAP pressure to figure this stuff out. So, a vacuum gauge is proven yet again to be a great all around tuning and troubleshootin tool

Ross, I'm trying to do the swap also and came across this I have a 73, so I have the late R180 setup, do I need to worry about the above? I haven't come across that info anywhere else that I can recall http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/R200.htm I'm trying to get all the parts put together within the next week, as I want it running on the 25th.

Crap, now I need yet another peice farg...
