Or is he a moron?

the chance of you having to mothball your 1975 and older Z because it won't pass smog in CA with the V-8 is about even odds with the chance you will be in an accident that will total your car, so look on the bright side... oh nevermind.

5cid? I'd like to know what HP it makes maybe it would make a good go-cart engine if it had at least 5 hp and a 6 speed gearbox ?

We need someone with lots of extra time on their hands to take that cat and have it kicking the butt of that chick from the motorcycle a few weeks ago , in a kung-fo fight with someone from the matrix and the dog somehow looking at the chick on the motorcycle as if in disbelief .

He said it ran, will run, but did he mention when it ran last? Looks like it was sitting out for a while, it probably has leaves and water in the intake manifold.

No value to this conversation, but an application of this appreaed on old radios, the dial actually moved plates which changed the capacitance of the circuit thereby changing the resonance frequency of the LCR circuit. Thereby changing the station. I'm sure we are all warmer and fuzzier now that we know that.

They could also be SMC fittings http://www.smcworld.com

It needs an adapter though about $750. Contact 5speedtrans.com.

If your fuel pump, fuel lines, regulator, and injectors, carburator, etc... survive It'll cause the gasoline to evaporate faster similar to oxygenation. Ever dipped different rubbers and plastics in acetone? Watch the fun. Tyr spraying acetone on styrofoam, if I'm not mistake, you'll get a nice little bubble show and then end up with a soft plastic mess on the table. Faster in killing bugs than raid as well, just watch the pergo.

go for MSD with a seperate blaster coil.

GM starters are so easy to repair, it's probably dirty, take it apart, clean it out and put it back, and Yes you need a grounding strat to the engine somewhere, I'm surprised you got this far without one. How is the energy going to get back to the battery? your engine is on rubber pads, your tranny is on rubber pads, your freekin diff is the only thing attached tot he body and it's a UNIBODY so it's not as good a ground as a wire. Your charge probably runs down your tranny, your driveshaft and through your diff to the body and then back to the battery. Hook a braided grounding strap to your starter directly from the battery. Your problem should be much improved after this.

You can get real cheap tickets for a flight to see the junker. Try to tell him that if he tries to back out you know he just wants your 250. Or tell him to ship COD and give you the $250. A fool and his $250 are soon parted.

I'm 6'3" and my 72 240 has like 2" of room above my head at least... although the seat is a bit worn and the springs are mostly busted. Comfortable though, too bad it's in stage 1 of 15 for the new engine install and is currently not running.

Good thing I was crossing my finger sounds like you got off easy. "knock on wood"

The driverside engine exhaust is interfering with the tire. It's pushed like 12" off-center to the driver's side. But good fake! Very clean.

when they ban pre-emmission vehicles we can all enjoy the convienance of an automatic ticket for speeding, "no fault" insurance won't be necessary, and they can automatically notify your parole officer, stop your car and lock you in if you pull a U-turn in a "no u-turn zone". Looking forward to it.

Every time I go to the Jy I get ripped off (or they try anyway). Case#1 I wanted rotors for a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado. "Sure no problem we got them." I go to the crap heap pick out the rusted warped and hopelessly scored discs and say, "I'll give you $20, I hope they can be re-ground." He snaps back, lety me check the computer... and walks to the back of the tin lean-to outhouse, comes back in 5 minutes and says those are $100 each. Then I say I can get them from the dang dealer for that price and he quips, "no they're $125". So I toss them back into the pile. Go to Kragen and pick them up for $45 each. Case#2 I wanted an armrest for a 1991 F150, so I go like a dope tot he JY, several places said the had them, only one actually did (do they think I'll see their rusted trash and say, well I came her e for an armrest but I'll take a pile of rust and three bent axels?) So I find one it's faded and has a crack, but what the hey. "I'll give you $2 for it." No they want $20. Freekin sucks I got an aftermarkert for $25. Case#3 I got a 1987 Escort. Had a fight with the rear end of a toronado, needless to say the plastic crap they call a grill and headlights are trash. Dealer wants all the oil rights to Texas and my liver "when " I die. So I go to the JY again, yes they have them, yes they are the right color, yes they look faded and are totally scratched to hell. I say, "how much". This time they take their sweet time and come up with $250 for the lot. WTF? So now Mercury Insurance owns the oil rights to Texas and my Liver when I die. Maybe it's just San diego? Maybe they see a tall white boy and say, "Aye Corrumba, mucha mula."?

240z-DET you said "forward position" do you mean Scarab? I am doing the same swap (T-56) and am not looking forward to "banging" the hell out of my car. I thought maybe I going do some banging in my car but not before it was finished. Also did you lower the cross member per the "JTR" suggestion? I have a feeling you didn't.

I'm practically a Scoobie Noobie now! Shucks!

Now make that an Orange 240, maybe it just needed some color. But... 10/10 originality 7/10 cinematics 6/10 editing 9/10 soundtrack 5/10 video quality 7.4 overall.

People suck. /Reality

Love dem Germanses!

IMO... Step 1 personal retirement accounts pushed by Bush into law. Step 2 Stockmarket Booms again. Step 3 Fat cats take the stock market for all it's worth. Step 4 Stock market Busts again. Repeat steps 2 through 4 untill 80. Step 5 50 years from now, 80-year-old People wonder why they can't afford dog food to eat on the measily retirement check. Can't afford property tax, become homeless, beg for food. Step 6 DIE and pass your debt onto your kids! (your alternate universe may vary)

Open the Cardboard Box and Surprise it's missing half the stuff, it's used and you open it up and find out it's been rebuilt twice has cracked cylindar walls and won't turn over. Call the guy up and "presto" his number is disconnected. Gotta love Ebay. (your results may vary)
