Moderator could I move this to the fabrication page?

Some progress. The collector fab details hadn't included the waste gates yet. It's getting there...

Some background: I work at an engineering firm as a piping design specialist. For those of you interested, I am designing a turbo manifold using my piping software at work. About a 3rd of the way complete. The photos don't show the wastegates, but I plan on utilizing two 38mm v-band waste gates. I plan on sending it to a fab shop and then installing it into my 75 280z. I use CADWorx 2018 and isogen. I will be sending the isometrics to an engineer in our process department to run flow calcs. I am working to make this manifold as efficient, equal length, and inexpensive as possible while trying to minimize the welds. Not saying it's going to be perfect...this is my first attempt at it. If I am able to produce a "Full Race" quality manifold for 1/4 the price, would there be a market for this? On a personal note, I'll be jet coating the manifold and then wrapping it in two layers of 5mm thick pyrogel insulation. A buddy at the plants owes me big time and he's giving me a pony roll of pyrogel insulation. Let me know your thoughts. I'm at the mercy of the forum! Have mercy on me! Thanks, Jeff

I pulled my engine and tranny last weekend while my kids and wife were out of town and now I want to restore my engine bay. I would like to know from those who have performed this swap what I can throw away. I would look at the photos of other peoples' engine bays who have performed the swap, but I'm not sure what has been hidden as opposed to demo'd/removed. Please assume: I will be keeping the AC system, relocating the battery to the back. Thanks to everyone, I have been using this, my FSM, and youtube to help make a lot of this happen. In case you're wondering, my car came painted like this. I'll be dreaming up a new scheme either to match or something else. Jeff Engine Removed

Looking for an RB26DETT with the RWD conversion to install into my 75 280z. I will arrange shipping if needed. I can pick up if within 300 miles of Lake Charles, LA. Must be in running condition with little rebuild needed. Harness is a must as well. PM me if you have anything.

Thank you very much!

Info: 1975 280Z R200 diff non-LSD Problem: First of all, I made a mistake disassembling my suspension without first taking pictures...new to the weekend mechanic world...lots of forum searches, using my haynes manual, youtube, etc.. I have looked in my Haynes manual and searched google images of suspension breakdowns, and still can't seem to identify this part. If I remember correctly, I removed it from the differential mount area. I did lots of cleanup on it and was covered in oil/grime. Please help! I attached pictures of the part.
