260ZT

This is a question I ask myself all the time. I've got 5 cars and in the back of my mind I know selling one would help do things to the others. But I just don't want to sell any of them.

That looks awesome

With the 4 bbl carb make sure that the spark plugs are not gas fouled. I've had this happen before and the vehicle would not start.

If your in Wellington try http://littlebeerquarter.co.nz/# If you are a beer guy. Pretty good food too.

Nice car I'm doing the same conversion right now to a 1970 Z. Everything fits it well. Wiring it up is next.

Wow You did a great job with that car

I bought this one for my 260z conversion http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic18b/10-2114 It's a factory replacement at $73. It's worked well on my car.

These 2 engines are great for making power. TPI is more of a torque engine and factory they ran out of wind around 4500-5k rpm. The last if the TPI engines where rated around 250hp and around 350 lb ft of torque. I love TPI but it is aging out and becoming harder to find parts for. Depending on what year Lt-1 you found (Impala, caprice, camaro, corvette) you can range from 260-300 hp. It did not have the torque rating like the TPI, around 300 lb ft. But be careful, if you buy a Lt-1 from some caprices they can be 4.3ltr Lt-1 V8s. The Lt-1 with the hot cam and roller rockers will easily make 400hp. The camaros and corvettes have aluminum heads and the caprice and impalas have steel heads. The Lt-1 is the cheaper way to build power v. the TPI.

Welcome Looks like its going to be a fun project.

This is what I bought for mine and it fits perfect http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic18c/15-6037
