  1. Sorry, yall are going to have to talk to me like a 4year old. MSA?
  2. I was looking at the front end of your Z, nice, is that a body kit? I might go with something like that?
  3. Kewl, thanks guys. I am new to this Datsun stuff.
  4. If you have never built a engine before and want real power you can count on, buy a crate engine. They take all the guess work out. I would buy a crate short block 383, which is just the lower half, block, crank, rods, slugs, and cam with timing set. Then add the heads you want. GM has some good cheap choices.
  5. Cool thanks, I don't feel like an old moron now. I couldn't post picture either.
  6. Chevydoc...yes Can you walk me through what you did? Or post a picture. I have a rough idea of what I think will work but if something is tried and true that would be helpful. Thanks Doc
  7. Thanks a bunch. I am not looking to buy one just yet. Once I get it ripped apart I know I going to out 650 for a sand blast and then about 2500-3500 in paint and undercoating. The block is at the machine shop and I am not sure what the cost is going to be yet to get my 350 out. Gary says he can get the heads I want for next to nothing and he will port and polish them because of all the work I have referred to him. Nice guy. I still have to find a used 5 speed. I got another question for you guys: when y'all are doing the V8 swap, what rear end are y'all using? I heard the stockers can handle the added power but I am going to beat the dog piss out of this thing, whats the point in having something you aren't going to beat on? lol.
  8. I am pretty good with glass, I am going to do a slight flare, myself. Destroke a 350? The bore will end up at 4.030 inches and using a forged 265 crank will make it right around 310 CID. The shorter crank will allow for more rpm, which combined with the close ratio 5 speed will make it a blast to drive. I don't need balls to wall speed. I am build a big block car for that, once I get the Z done. I had a guy that couldn't pay me everything he owed on some work I did and he gave me a short block 502. So I am looking for something to put it in. Maybe a late model Nova or Malibu. Possiblely a 55 or 57 shoebox, those are getting very hard to come by these days. Anyway, the idea on the destroke comes from the 1st gen Z28 cars. Just carry the theme over to the 240Z to make a 240Z28. I will put the Z28 bagdes on it and rid the Datsun bagdes. doc
  9. Well, it has to look cool too. I don't think I will have many issues not being asleep with the project I got lined up. 400hp and 5sp with a small sneeze of laughing gas should be able to take on most of the stock stuff and burn a few ricers while I'm at it.
  10. I got a question? Running those power numbers, did you reinforce the frame or build a new one?
  11. Yeah, I have seen the kit up close. Looks cheap. I'd like to keep the Z lines with sleeper power. Nothing better than hunting down rice and cooking them.
  12. Cool, where might one find a G nose front end?
  13. Just had an idea, I feel like my blond girlfriend. I posted on another site asking the same question. Check it out and if ya can help an old fart out, thanks. http://www.carforums.net/showthread.php?t=77144
  14. Its not that I don't want help or that I don't want to post the pictures. This site will not let me upload them. I will see if I can find the picture online and post a link for y'all. What I was referring to is photobucket. If I was a teenage girl I would post them to my space.com. I am gearhead, not a PC geek. Thanks guys doc
  15. Thanks, but thats not something I going to do.
