Z-Matches

Thank you guys for your information.since I herd from you guys I posted on Craigslist that I want some one to teach me how to build a project. I found an old gray hair man who has 40 years experience working in his house garage. when I met him he was knowledgeable and so kind with me. This weekend I will starts with him to have some basices. Thank Z members

I really want to gain some real mechanical skills so that I can buy a 240 or 280z and be confident in pulling apart and engine, changing/replcaing parts etc. I have a good understanding of how a car works and can do all the normal stuff and other basic maintenance but I have never tried anything major. Automotive school is not a good choice for me because they ask for a high tuition and I already attend gradate school. I wish I could find someone professional near from my area (Rhode Island) who is willing to train me in his garage and he has some experience about LS engines.

I might do the same thing that you did. I wish I could find one in LA with a good deal. Thank you

wow... 1,000 per side!! I didn't know that. I'm so glad that I wrote in this forum. Thank you

The only problem that is most of Z's on LA are expansive but I will try to find a good deal with near rust free body. Thank you

Thank you so much for giving me this information. I may wait more to increase my budget and find rust free Z, so I can avoid body work. Thank you

Thank you Sir so much, I will start looking for Z's and I but your list in my consideration .

I was searching for a 240z and 280z to start my LS project but most of the Z that I found have amount of rust. The problem is when I found a Z with free rust the price is very expensive and in the meantime I don't want to spend too much money on body work. So, My question is What rust is acceptable on Z and in which area the rust will effect bad on the project? Thank you

Did you do any modification on chassis or suspension?

Yes, I think you are right about the tubbed roller. I think if I build a Z with more than +500RWHP the tires will spinning and I will lose traction.

Thank you so much sir for sharing this information and I really appreciate it. In this stage I'm really confused witch route I should take. I have now 2012 Mustang 5.0 but I'm not satisfied with the porfomance. The engine is great but the car is so heavy and Im afraid that I will end up with the same porfomance that the mustang do. Thank you

Hi, it sample question, How would you build a 10 second Z? .. I'm in the searching process and my planes is to build a Z with LS1 or 5.3 engine that can handle perfect and can go 10 second.
