Your probably correct, but I haven't see another list showing all the options.

Check this link out it will tell you all the ratio's and what year and car they come from. http://www.geocities.com/inlinestroker/ratio.html

I'm also interested in the same answers or other options? 1) Can you leave the stock proportioning valve in and put the adjustable proportioning valve down the path? Please show pictures of your setups. Thanks

Nice job! Feels good to do it yourself!

Hello, I have search the forum for a diagram and explanation of were and how the line lock should be placed on a Z setup. I have replaced the master cylinder with a 280zx (11/15") and replace the stock 240z proportioning valve with the 280zx one. Now I want to add a line lock and adjustable proportioning valvue (APV). 1) I see most people replacing the stock proportioning valuve with the adjustable one. Is that the best way to do it or should the adjustable valve go between the back brakes and the stock proportioning valve? 2) Line lock, should that go between the master cyclinder and the brake sendor valve (before the proportioning valve) on the Front line? 3) What line lock system are people using? Is B&M 46076 Line Lock Launch Control Solenoid Kit worth getting? Thanks for your help.

Still need to add rear camber plates, finish painting the engine bay. I have already dry fitted in the LS2 and transmission. Hope to have it on the road this summer! I love reading everyone's builds and love the creative ideas people come up with, some of thes I hope to implement on my car. I call him Frank short for Frankenstein.

When you say the injectors are dead, are the connections corroded or can the injectors be cleaned, then reused? My engine has been sitting for a few years as well.

I used the same 2x3 .125 wall as that was the thinest I could find. But I noticed that you brought them flush with the floor pans. I had mine up about 3/4" in the floor. I like your idea better. Nice work ...

Spending two weeks in Disney world. This long weekend looking for a car show with some Z's in or around Orlando, any suggestions?

Dragonfly, It seems like the cap is a little wider than the whole and if I tap on the cap, will I not bend the sides while trying to tap it in? Thank you, will give it a try.

Hello, I need to install a new grease cap (not sure what it is called) on one of my 300zx half shafts. (see pics below) I'm assuming you need to press the cap and then lightly tap it in. Similar to how you install pistons into an engine block. Does anyone have instructions or suggestions on how to do this correctly? Also, what tool(s) do you recommend to install this cap? Thanks,

EvilC, Thanks, I sure hope the LS2 will perform. I've always loved the 240z, but it just didn't have the power like a muscel car, so I'm hoping this engine will solve that problem. And from what I have read on this site, everyone is very happy with the performance of the LSx engines. I can't wait to find out.

EvilC, Thanks for the post, it's comforting to know others are taking longer than expected on their projects. My hats off to all those who stuck with it and completed thier engine swaps or restoration. Anyone can purchase a new car, but not everyone can create a classic sports car that rivals most new cars in performance and handling. Thanks for the inspiration, I can wait until my car is finished!

Jon, If you do not use the crossmember how are you attaching the rear control arms? Kim

Keep it stock, get another Z to modify. One stock and one modified can't have it any better than that. Kim

Congrats! You've done a lot of work to get to this stage, well done! Kim
