Jwink25 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Hello everyone! I am kinda new here. I have been reading over some of the topics posted here. You seem to be a bunch of good guys. Most people have very good info. to share and everyone's attitude is good. So a big thanks to everyone here! Does anyone live near Joplin, MO? I am planning to either put in my Turbo Z engine in my 1971 240Z or V8 it with a 302. If anyone does live around here I would like to visit them sometime and maybe get some ideas and maybe get to know some other Z car people. Also, if I go the V8 route, does anyone know of somebody that would like to buy a good running 280Z turbo engine? Thanks! Jwink25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I'm not, but as I recall, that was where my Z was originally purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Jwink25, I live in Rogers, AR a little bit down the road 45 min +/- depending on how fast ya go . I'm gathering parts for my 73 240 right now and will start a full roller 350 Chevy build shortly (as soon as the block gets back from the machine shop . Gald to have ya on board. Give me a shout some time. I've been planning a short road trip for the Z if the National Guard would let me have some weekends off in the future. Maybe we could hook up next month if things slow down a bit. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Hey JWink25! I'm not in Joplin, but my uncle lives there, actually a little north, 10 minutes or so, I beleive it is Orongo that he actually lives in. North out of town by one of the 5 sonics in the area I go out there pretty much every summer, and actually not this last summer, but summer of 2000 I brought home my 280zx, that I now use as a daily driver. My (great) uncle gave it to me, just cause I liked it. I've done a lot of work to it already, and it is still having ignition problems... (No one has any ideas to my post in the ignition forum ) Anyways, good luck on your Z project man, maybe I'll give you a message next time I go out, probably this coming summer, and maybe we can get together... I'm doing a chevy V8Z, but I am still interested in any and all hybrids... hell, any and all Zs for that matter My uncle gave me the bug that bit me... a red sports car.... Eh, babbling, mom yelling at me to take dog and go to bed, must sleep, have school in morning... Good luck, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
