I recently purchased a 3.90 r200 for my 76 build,an 83 l28 engine and tranny.Iam planning on using the 83 block and head .040 over,head work on the p79, 272 cam,msa header and bob sharp 4 barrel intake and 390 holley ,dont scream about su's.I will eventually source a set and do a dyno comparison and run the best setup My question is this, has anyone ever used a 5 speed from a 720 pickup? I can get 1 for $50.00 and the ratio is as follows 1st 3.592 ,2nd 2.445, 3rd 1.415, and 5th .813

Thanks datsphilly,I would love to do a turbo swap or a stand alone efi setup with a hotter cam in the future. But for now I was going to keep it simple,I have access to the machine shop where i used to work for 15 years rebuilding cylinder heads and engines and the only cost would be parts and my time.

Just lookin for an answer to my question,I dont have the money for a turbo swap right now .

Hello I have been searching this forum and have to say that I am impressed with the wealth of knowledge on Z cars. I am a newbie to the Z car scene and and was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions. I have a 76 280 z currently still a 4 speed,stock efi, with a stock r200 3.54 gear,I just bought a 83 280zx r200 3.90 to install and I am looking to buy a 5 speed either from a 280zx or possibly a 720 pickup . The car came with a few extra parts that i have been thinking of using in a engine build, a Bob Sharp 4barrel intake manifold with no carb,a Delta cams 272 reground camshaft with matching rockers and a pacesetter square port 6 to 1 header. I am intending on driving this Z but obviously it will not be my daily driver. My question is this ,with the parts mentioned above, and a rebuild with flat top pistons ,headwork on the N42,a Holley 390 cfm carb will this be a fairly decent setup ,not looking for a 12 second car but would like to make at least 200 to 250 h.p. and not loose too much street driveability.Also I am in the Charlotte N.C. area and would like to meet any local members.Thanks in advance, Curt
