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,

 

I live in Rogers, AR a little bit down the road 45 min +/- depending on how fast ya go icon_biggrin.gif . 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 icon_cool.gif . 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.

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 icon_smile.gif 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 icon_sad.gif )

 

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 icon_biggrin.gif 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
