Like the wheels. What size tires ya gonna slide on?
-
my first thought was MR2.

maybe I'm the slow one here..... 280Z = hatch button visible from outside looking at hatch..... 280ZX hatch button not visible... ? ? ?

The car is making its own funny face in a mocking fashion. When I first looked at it I immediately saw a face with mouth open and tongue hanging out a bit.
+ tongue = the crappy 300ZX -
kudos on forging you own trail for mounting the drive train. I would give the smoke thing serious attention but not fix the gas pedal for now. it can act as a getto-governor until you are better with the car and may help you avoid that rearender you mentioned.

i agree. get some cheap crap cover and cut them up. I have little spray deflectors for stamped rockers. bet you could get a cheap set from local tool place, they keep oil from splashing as you adjust
-
are those 350Z wheels ?
-
me likey. i love everything about it except the number of cylinders. would have creamed in my shorts if it had a little 289 or some other small cube sbf. that being said.... wicked looking setup with the manifolds
-
well i kinda like it. nose reselmbles a 69. but the tail looks too much like the charger for me. i would still take one. i love the original muscle cars but a retro is bad @$$ cause you get cool styling and cozy ride

my dad's is legal and his is shaped just like that. the "d" bars go from the corner of the crossbar behind the seats to frame rails for the tie-in.

that's a nice looking intake too. looks more like super victor to me than a victor jr?

wheelman,
i gave this some thought as i was skimming the thread and know exactly what i would call your z as it sits currently. You basically decribed it as rough and tacky but drivable. I, being the type to mock myself, would name it TACK. Short for tacky. Its short and easy to say, and you may be able to think of something more suitable that can built on TACK when it is more presentable.... like stack or tacked or stacked or something. just my bit. and no offense intended on the minor bash by my suggested name. mine still is a shell.

that would be the best part... taking advantage of people's ignorance. you cant expect people to know the in's and out's of datsuns unless they are enthusists. even so, most people dont know a motor from a trans and dont care.
that being said... i love the idea. it's like when people tell me they have a jeep wrangler withy a V6 and they are all proud of it (the straight 6)

Anyone using a Professional Products intake manifold or other parts. I am waiting on my intake to come in and its a copy of the "air gap" mainfolds. Didnt think to get feedback prior to order. looks to be of good quality but not sure. I have one of their harmonic balancers too. they seem to make a nice part

it'll cost me about 200 most likely for the pipe from header to muffler(including H pipe). not sure what mufflers i'll use but my guy here in Glendale AZ is pretty good and pretty cheap

jeg's sells wraps made of kevlar or something like it in the form of spark plug boot protectors that are pretty nice. if you still have issues after the cam you can try the joe pyro method and carefully spray brake-clean around the intake to see if it changes idle at all.
at least you boosted the cam in the end so that will make you happy.

me, father,father in law and brother and law are avid 400SBC folks. parts are readilly avialable. not quite as market-flooded as the 350 parts though.
BTW... that BS flag is so cool that its the only reason i pitched in. I just wanted to try it out but cant figure it out. where do you find that stuff
(here you go, Mike kZ )

i would be wondering what volume of fuel is flowing as well. the pressure is most imnportant obviously because as long as the pressure isnt too high it should not be overpowering the float seat. have heard of too much flow even at correct pressure. remember that it is something i was told so it could be as valid as the tooth fairy.
-
well to put my 2 cents in... if you build a 327, 350 and 400 with all the same specs meaning compression and parts type/grade, they should all make very similar HP but more cubes means more torque. I love 400's cause I like big cubes. They may be overkill in a Z due to traction issues, but isnt that why you wanna V8Zcar to begin with? GO for the gusto but if that particular motor is not buildable then it is a waste of money. If you want bang fot the buck buy a GM Crate motor to get a a good 4 bolt main SBC with a warranty.
+ tongue = the crappy 300ZX
Finally giving up and selling convertible 240Z
in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

Check out my add in the classifieds under hybrid z car section. Need to sell and would like to see and V8 freak buy it so that it gets the stupid awsome power it deserves. I can pick the front end up off the ground with one other person. Very light and would be a cool racer or show car.
