  1. I have a 455 on the stand. I have been searching for the right Z for a few years to put this in. Keep me updated on your progress.
  2. I dont know about the 350, but everyone I have ever talked to about my 455 says to definately NOT go with a high volume pump.
  3. Mr2s are mid 14 to low 15 second cars stock. But as with almost all factory turbo cars, they dont take crap to make them fly. A few bolt ons and they are SOLID 13 second cars. I was looking for a nice one for 2 years. But everyone who had a nice one knew it and wanted WAY too much for it. FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN cars to drive!
  4. My Buick 455 is rated at 510 ft/lbs...and it is for the Z.
  5. I choose cheap and fast. I have no need for a show car.
  6. Im working on a Buick 455. Same concept.
  7. Around here, trannys are very expensive(over a grand) and almost impossible to locate.
  8. 8) Its hard to believe that something so small...
  9. I wish the DSM's or the Skyline didnt break. That Z had no chance in hell otherwise. I liked the Z, but ULTIMATE STREET CAR it is not.

    4G63??

    Last I heard, Plebani sold the Starion and 4g63'd a wide body Porsche. Just do an internet search and you are bound to find info on his old car.
  11. There is also one in Sport Compact Car with a BMW V12 and MANY MANY very trick parts It didnt win though.

    4G63??

    Since I am into DSMs I have definately thought about it. But I figured I would go Big Block first.
  13. Thank you for that reply Mikelly. It saved me from all that typing. Good Lord, I can believe the extent of the safety net some people require on low budget, low production parts. I have been a part of many types of automotive "communities" and this is the only place I have EVER been that pretty much discourages small guys from making parts that the big companies have neglected. All of these parts that I have seen criticized have seemed to be alot more substantial than the stockers they replace. Just because they havent been sent to a lab, they are no good? I dont get it. I understand that safety is a major concern. But damn... EDIT: I figured it out...there are just too many engineers here
