Automatic because it was free. I'd really like to do a 5 speed... muncie 4? I don't know. I want manual. I'll probably end up trading.

I love what you've done with this car! Very nice build. Say, what seats do you have in this thing?

To answer the motor question: 388cid stroker turbo. But, I'm not putting that motor into this one. At least, That's not my plan. What I planned on doing is taking the parts from this shell that I need for my V8 build, that I'm putting into my 280Z (that is already half way set up for the V8 swap) and selling it. Basically all I wanted out of this car was the aluminum radiator, turbo 350 tranny, aluminum roller rockers, camel hump heads, and probably some other things here and there. The rest is useless to me really. He didn't do any suspention work (that I noticed so far). The car was actually put together fairly poorly with this V8 swap if I say so myself.

Agree. My plans are not to make this one run again, but to help fund my progress of my other project. Get the parts I want, and sell the rest.

I will probably be getting what I want out of this one (mostly engine parts) and selling the rest of it.

Hey guys! I bought another Z. My buddy owned it before me, called me one night and said "My cars jacked up!". Asked where he was, when we got there he was stopped in the middle of the road with a HUGE oil trail behind him. Once I told him he blew it we got it towed to his house, pulled the motor and he ended up tearing apart almost all the rods, snapped the cam in two places and put a nice indention on the side of the block. He parked it on the side of his house for a year. He told me he was selling it. I offered him a small wad of cash and he took the bate! It's ugly, but it came with a TON of parts and has ALOT of the stuff I need for my new V8 build! Check it out:

I've always been a fan of the TE37's. Too expensive for me though. I'll stick to my sportmax wheels

I'll buy some whenever they're ready!

You got it man. Thanks

Right on dude. I'll let you know asap. I'm new to the paypal nonsense. I really like those stickers though.

How much?

Those are pretty sweet man! I wouldn't mind sticking a few of those on my Z's.

No money, but I have PLENTY of time. I'll probably not do this. It was just a thought and the more I learn it's either going to cost me a ♥♥♥♥ load of money, or it's just going to ruin something and wish I had never done it.

I didn't even read that. It hurt my eyes

Man, I heard about this after we left. I didn't know we were going to leave you alone. I feel bad that we weren't there to give you a hand man! I'm glad to hear you're ok!! How much damage was done?

That's pretty sweet man!

This is awesome man, thanks!!

Negligence, I have heard of the crank walk on the older model 4G63's. I know that eventually I'd want to put more power down and keep wanting to put more power down. I think this is making me lean more towards NOT doing it. I'd hate to dump a TOOON of money into something. I think I'll research and see what I can get for the bang for my buck T-Bone028, I have a buddy with one sitting in his garage. I've heard nothing but good about them. I actually posted on another forum that's local here in ABQ, and they ALL are trying to talk me out of it, so maybe I was going by what I was told. I like what you said about building an L6, I actually need the motor in my car rebuilt, it's about to go. Maybe that's what I'll stick to. I just thought it would be cool to do something a little different. Hell, maybe I'll turbo the SBC... I have a craving for boost.

I think I'll research a TON and see what comes up, what i can come up with... see if anybody has ever done it yet or anything like that. Like I said at the beginning, it's just an idea for now. But I am really going to look into it. And honestly, I love the sound of the 4g's.

1200? Proposterous... but I like it! I would love to build the V8, but I've grown to love turbo's so much lately. I suppose I could just turbo the V8.... and I don't know if I could hook with that much power to the wheels in that tiny of a car.

I'm not feeling it....

My buddy that helped me come up with this concoction (spelling) was telling me about that. Didn't get too much into detail, he just said use the newer models.

I love the 2JZ.... But I want to do something a little different.... plus, I don't need 700... or even 500 to the wheels in that little car. Although, that kind of power would be quite fun.

I will have to search it... I thought I was the only one who thought of this... how selfish of me. A couple of my friends have evo's. Pushing about 500hp on a stock block.
