Hi Jack, My car is a 1977 280Z, 383 cid SBC. I bought the car with a V8 in it, I was told it was ready to drive.... I same to find that the motor that was in it had issue's, blow by (bad rings), The lifters when installed were over tightened. The springs in the lifter were mashed and upon removing the cam some of the lobs were bad!
I threw in the towel on that motor and started over.
The 383 is a new Bowtie block forged Probe flat top pistons, bushed "I" beam H rods, Hastings rings, King Bearings and a Scat 9000 crank. Upper end has aluminum 210cc runners comp heads (2.02 1.60 valves) compression 10.5 to 1, valves are SS, Wisco SS roller rockers, Crane Blue flame 300/310 duration, lift is 510/540. Carb is a Mighty Demon 750.
Tranny is BW T-5 (the trans came out of a 1989 1LE Camero, lucky find for me!).
I'm a middle aged guy and not great with computers!!!! I don’t know how to put picks in here. I tried to cut and past them but it won’t let me. It asks for a URL, I don’t know how to do that!
The car is 100%, it originally from Georgia no rust. The interior is complete, all new and nice.
Don’t know what else to add, so I'll leave it there for now.
Everyone please feel free to ask and I will respond and answer. Thank you!
