    No, they look really good, have a little metal in it, and have some rtv type material around all jets, not paper.

    Good tip. I’ve got trickflow heads, so I got their gasket kit.

    Came out great, love the color. Whats the interior color or colors going to be?

    Thanks for the reminder, I had not. That’s a couple things you’ve caught, I really appreciate it as I’m doing a lot of these things for the first time. I owe you a few beers if we ever meet up. Took the lower bolts out one at a time, cleaned and torqued back with plenty of thread sealant. Got the second head on today too.

    Got around to weighing the door and the heads. Old heads were 50.8lbs new ones are 29lbs. The carbon fiber (shell) is 10.4lbs, looks like big weight savings.

    Axles finally came in. Didn’t have much time this weekend, but cleaned the top of the motor and bolt holes and got one head installed.
  8. FastFloridian
    They are super light, I’ll get a weight on the shell this week and share, and in a few months when I get around to installing them I’ll get a full weight with windows/hardware.

    Carbon fiber door and door cards came in, these things are super sexy 🥰

    Used a Dremel and the water pump pulley on.

    Thanks sharing the pics. How do your oil temps do? I’m thinking of going with 2 smaller coolers so I can mount them right behind bumper on the sides to get direct air. My 370Z over heats at the track with oil cooler, intercooler and radiator all stacked.
  12. FastFloridian
    I threaded bolts up, looks like they’ll fit, I’ll find out soon.

    Snugged up harmonic balancer and installed pulley. Water pump pulley doesn’t fit, hole in center needs to be slightly bigger, about the size of that indentation. I’ll get that on another day.
  14. FastFloridian
    Screw up fixed, new oil pan is on. Had to modify windage tray for rear pick up to fit. Started on the harmonic balancer, not sure it’s on all the way, hopefully I’ll get a little more time tomorrow.

    You caught my screw up. Unfortunately that oil pan doesn’t work, gonna have to replace it 😤. I ordered, basically the same thing, but a rear sump. Hopefully I’ll get it on this weekend. I went with a moroso baffled oil pan. I should be able to make this one clear the subframe.

    Windage tray and oil pan on. I had to take the oil pick up off to slide in the windage tray.
  17. FastFloridian
    Thanks guys. I got the timing cover and water pump on, ordered a windage tray then I can get the oil pan on and start working on the top. Mounted the fuel regulator started making some fuel lines. Need to figure out filter placement then I can cut and finish the rest of the lines. I’m using black for fuel, red for return and blue for vent.

    Nice, you’ll be good. Yep, I went with same gearing, but I got a 3.3 in the rear.
  19. FastFloridian
    Looks good, what gearing did you go with the on the TKX, I got same bell housing too. I would definitely do some ducting to help get all the air you can through all of that. I have a TT 370Z I track occasionally, oil cooler/intercooler/radiator all stacked similar to you, after about 5 laps or so I need to do a cool down lap to get temps back in range. Adding some ducting is on my to do list on that car.

    Got timing cover painted. Spent almost half the day dealing with a bolt on the timing cover/water pump that had broken off in the block. Tried all types of extractors, ended up having to drill it out and re-tap it a size bigger. Got the oil pan off and installed new pump and pick up for the new baffled oil pan. Got the main seal on, set the timing cover on and called it a day.

    Got the new camshaft installed today.
  22. FastFloridian
    Welcome back. Let’s see some pics.
  23. FastFloridian
    Not a bad idea. The 370Z forum shut down a few months ago, would drum up more traffic here.
  24. FastFloridian
    Cleaned up the block, got it primed and painted this weekend. Replacing pan and timing over, will paint timing when it gets in. Now I can get new parts on the engine, I’ll start with swapping the cam next weekend. Also ordered the TKX transmission should be here this week.

    What are the reasons for wanting to go to the V6? I would think it’s just as easy (or hard) going to the V6 from a stock car vs the modified V8. You’re going to need a lot of new parts either way. You’ll need a way of mounting the engine, new transmission, driveshaft and engine management system. More computers and sensors on the V6 will be a lot more wiring.
