Buncha show cars? Far from it, it's got everything from bone stock, to bones, to rust, to show winners. Just a "Z" thing of all sorts, you could have missing doors and it'd be alright, although I wouldn't recommend it!
In my opinion, the bling factor for a fuel tank is in the fuel cell. I guess it just seems like a lot of trouble to mod the stock fuel tank for something like this. If you mod the stock tank, might as well do an easy mod (for me would be the external sump).
I truly like your idea of the intake pump and stuff, but that skill level is out of my reach.
Anyone ever think of the "hmm my Z tranny can't handle this" possibility? What about shifting with this motor, letting the revs down or downshifting for that matter. From what I know on the 152 Cessna's (Lycoming flat 4's), this isn't a real smart thing to do. Unless you plan on keeping it in 3rd the whole time?
My two pennies.
Of course, but I don't tink you have to worry as much since you're running a 26 which runs off of a cable.
Just make sure that you use the speedo pinion that came with your RB25DET trans onto your RB26 speed sensor.
Alright, those of you who are local, we need to wrap up some motors and get it running and park next to each other. The SR guys might do the same thing so we gotta lay down some serious turds.
