That ship has sailed. Glad I got my order in. Love my stuff!

Mitchel0407 gave you some decent advice. If it's all about the dollars, either rebuild what you have and perhaps go to a manual transmission. Next better choice would be a new GM crate engine. Small block GM engines are reasonably easy to work on and more or less stock crate engines can be had from many sources that don't cost an arm or a leg. I have had many z cars over the years with stock engines, V8 GM powered, stroked out big cam four br carbed car and a high hp, zillion dollar track car to mention a few. I sure had a blast with all of them!!! Like someone once said " if I had all the money I ever spent on Z cars, I'd spend it all on Z cars".

I will have to agree with NewZed. The seller has invested a bunch of $ in this car but it is still a project that will need many, many hours and days of work to complete. You will need to know what you are doing in order to make a drivable Z. After reading his post, he doesn't say much about the engine. All in all a stock, not even rebuilt l28 T engine is a big question mark. There are some nice Z cars out their for sale without all the work this one will require that you could tag and drive without the hastle.

Let that ship sail! Find another decent body for a few grand and save yourself a ton of time and money. I've seen many "resto plans" dye on the vine after the joy has passed, months and years go by and the person doing it burns out. Just my ywo cents!! Good luck.

My hat is off to you guys. You are now body men delux!

Virginia International, Carolina Motorsports Park are both good ones. CMP is in SC. Depending on where you are, both should not be far.

Adjust the door hinges per instructions in th FSM. Easy!

Looks like someone tried to cover up a bunch of body problems with under coat and paint that will take a lot of time/money to repair. Keep on looking for a better example. They are out there to be found.

Recd. mine. Nice quality! Thank you Ryan.

Jim Cook Racing has a face book group.

Very nice and I'm sure it has taken a TON of time, work and dollars to get to this point. I've never seen a GTO in person and I've always liked the look. It's kind off understated. Will you be road racing this car? Have you thought about what "looks like" a lack of down force from the front end? You have lots of HP and lots of top end to deal with.

Good Idea! I'm a buyer.

MSA had a deal to recover them. They did a set for me a few years ago and they looked really nice. Check with them.

I have rear arms from a 73 here in N. Myrtle Beach. Yours for the taking away.

Kenny, I have two stock turbo manifolds here in South Carolina. Contact me mayolives@aol.com. Thanks, Tom.

Sounds like you have a decent cooling system in place. I live in the steamy South and run about the same setup on my 3 liter. Have you checked your temp gauge? Just how hot is it really getting? Are you pushing coolant out the over flow? Also, you may have have a bad/worn out water pump.

What am I missing here?? Buy a new one from AZC.

Replace or not to replace. The R200 is a little stronger vs the R180. But there are other choices. It's all about what you can spend. The R200 with Quaife limited slip is a well-tried choice but costly. The Driveshaft shop in Salisbury, NC has a reputation for building axles for go-fast cars and they are easy to work with. They fixed me up when Nissan CD axles would not last long in my road course car. https://driveshaftshop.com/

Are you aware of the 280zxt cv axle lengths? They are different! I'm not sure why Rockauto says their axles can be used on either side. There is information on this site about the subject. My experience with the OEM cv units with a high HP car was not good! I suspect they are not much stronger than OEM half shafts. I finally had to have custom 930 Porsche units built and they held up just fine. PM me if you would like my input. Also, I live in SC at the Beach.

I have been ask to help install a Holley 4 Barrel 8006/390 carburetor and it's linkage on a Clifford intake. The car is a 73 240Z, with a P90 head. A Lokar throttle linkage kit was purchased from MSA. If my memory serves me, the Clifford intake has provisions for a water lines. Where should I connect the water lines going to and from the intake? Also, can I mount the carburetor in either direction, front to back or sideways. I have an Arizona Z Car intake with a Holley mounted transverse (side to side) on my 260Z. My intake is open where the Holley mounts to it and does not have a divider. Is the Clifford open on top like my AZC intake? Any other thoughts on this Clifford intake that might help? I have searched the internet and other Z car sources to no avail.

This build sounds really cool. I have owned many z cars over past decades including one 240/350SBC that was fun. But the rest of that car was not up to all the 350's power. Your choice of the Art Morrison chassis and all the rest sounds like the ticket and should be far better to any of the many modifications that most of us are accustomed to. I'm staying tuned!

Looks like I've been around since 2003. So much good stuff to help keep these z cars alive and well. Sure hope we can keep it going for the next batch!
