The derivative(s) of the 351C did not have quite the same head design...and thats where the power came from (canted valves, large oval intake ports). It has been noted many time that the 351C put out the most HP per cubic inch than any other normally asperated V8. Putting aluminum 302/351W heads on a 351C would just make an engine like a 351W. The reason people adapted 351C heads to a 302 was to clone a BOSS 302 engine which was equiped w/351C heads.
I think there used to be 351C aluminum heads put out by Ford for the NASCAR guys. Good luck finding any.

I hope so. Chose a SBC because there was not any info for a 351C swap. I used to own a 71' Mach 1 w/a 351C that absolutely screamed...and that was in a HEAVY body. I can only imagine what a Cleveland engine would do in a Z.

Yea, that dosen't suck... but it does remind me of people who spend $50,000 on a custom gourmet kitchen and don't even know how to cook.

I realize Ferrari can make YOUR life hell for using their badges, logos, etc. Even Carrol Shelby went after the kit car builders when they started making Cobra kits and using Shelby emblems.
What I meant was I don't think it's out of line to use emblems on a replica. I have always wanted a car like the 250GTO but never seem to have the extra $10,000,000.00+ laying around to buy one. So...I'm building one. After all the blood, sweat and money I'm putting into this thing I'll put little rearing stallions on it if I want to. Catch me if you can Ferrari!
Oh yea, your Scorpion body looks awesome!

I found the catalog section of your website-I had an old link.
Thanks.

When are you going to have detailed info. and an itemized parts list on your website? http://www.scorpionzcars.com
Regarding the Ferrari badges...people have been putting Shelby Cobra, Daytona, etc. on their replicas for years. I don't see what the big deal is about doing the same with a Ferrari replica. Especially if it handles and moves like the real deal!

I think another kind of hybrid may be added to my garage.

I wet myself watching that video.

You may want to check out azguy's new post in the exhaust forum. He is having ground clearance issues and his car (280ZX) does not seem to be lowered at all. Remember, for the VR kit the car must be lowered a couple of inches and this may really complicate things!
Obviously it can be done but the pipes will have to be raised up on the rocker panels so watch out for leg burns!
Good luck-keep us posted.

GLAD YOUR OUT! A few things have changed since you went away but I think it's still legal to install a V8 into a Z car.
The way things are going it may not be too long until this site has to go underground and all of us have to worry about jail time for "installing unauthorized powerplants" in our vehicles!

Who ever took those shots has a great eye. Very enjoyable!

Just to follow-up. I talked to a tech at Scat about 302 rotating assemblies for a 327 or 350...it's not a cheap date. He said the crank would be semi-custom and the pistons (need dished due to 58cc heads) and rods would be $$$ in addition. When asked about putting a 283 crank in a small journal 327 he said that would work fine but the rods and pistons would probably be expensive. He strongly advised building a 327 because forged cranks, rods and pistons are still readily available off the shelf and you can "rev the snot out of them". In addition he said by adding a light weight flywheel and balancer you would still have the quick rev characteristics of a 302 when you tapped the gas.
The people at Scat were very helpful and seemed sincerely interested in providing the best solution w/the least amount of headache and expense. Thanks for the lead Pop N Wood.

Thanks again for the info. guys. I've already got a lead on a 327 jt1 but thanks for the offer!
-
Thanks Mike-looks like I'm hunt'n for 327/283 stuff!
-
A 302 is a 327 with a 283 crank. A friend has a 67 camaro with a 302 built out of a 327 block and 283 crank stock eliminator and is almost in the 10s in the quarter. From what he is telling me there is a large and small jornel cranks.
Can you guys confirm this...Grumpy are you out there? I would really prefer a 302 to anything but I realize they are rare and $$$$. If it is possible to put a 283 crank in a 327 for the same result I'll go that route.
Thanks for the help!

I still have a good hatch door left if anyone is interested.
-
Hey, is that also true of an old school 350? Will a 153 tooth off a 305 work?
Thank you.

I'm doing a body kit on my Z and have a good hood, hatch and front fenders for anyone who wants to pick them up.
I'm in a northern section of Atlanta, GA

Is it better to have the dipstick located on the passenger side or the driver's side? (does it matter?). My set-up will be an old school 350 (after market aluminum heads) and a WCT-5 tranny.
I did a search and did not find an answer except for one member cursing for getting an engine w/ the dipstick on the passenger side (he didn't explain his frustration).
Thanks!

Yep, BZ3099 is for the Illuminas.
-
I'm pretty sure the year(s) are 1987-1989 MR2. Part # HZ3099 for the non-adjustable versions-about half the price of the adjustable ones.
-
Talk to Ross at Modern Motorsports: modern-motorsports.com. He can set you up with a set of custom coilovers and a set of 5 way adjustable Tokico Illuminas matched per your driving needs.

Yea, bastaad525 your being paranoid. This post is well written and very funny. When I'm not searching for technical information I often read the non-tech forum to get a laugh or get insights on things not Z related. I consider myself to be a moderate conservative but after reading some of the viewpoints expressed by liberals on this forum I have modified my attitude on some issues and have become a more independent thinker.
If you do decide to move to Canada don't forget to bring the stinky cheese to go with your California whine!

Yep, the 400's had canted valves.
