Yep the work and cost is just not worth the gains.., I think I'll get of my "Horse Power High" and get grounded. I have my 240 engine out to paint the compartment and had this combo to go in and was looking to maximize it... I think I will keep it simple and save some cash. Thanks.

I have both and have read them. the how to modify book does not even talk about later the later P79 but a lot of nice to dos for sure.
The Mod seems pretty straightforward, shave the head .080, shim up the towers and outer springs 0.80 inner .40, install shorter valves, pick a performance cam, springs and retainer, figure out the geometry for the lash pads and run with it. End up with an updated head with higher compression which seems logical for a performance engine!?

Yes this thread is old sorry. I have been reading up and gathering all the info to do this mod for what I thought was a good one until I came upon this thread and feel stonewalled.
My head is apart and is ready to send pieces out to get machined and now I am wondering if this mod is truly worth the trouble.
Does anyone have true experience with this? I do know of one over at classiczcar that I have talked to and he loves it and has a lot of experience with it, just looking for others to confirm if they have done it. Thanks..

I picked up an 81 280zx with no title. For sure I will keep the engine, 5 speed and drive train for someone that needs that. What else should I keep that 280zx folks would need? Rims are good, fenders are so so Dash is trash seats are worn bad, headliner good.. Keep any electrical, engine compartment stuff?

You could put some assembly lube on the cam. I just rebuilt a F54 P79 Carb engine and used the isky cam lube that came with it. I was worried about priming it but I started it up and the oil pressue came right up.
