z ya Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 I am always curious as to what some of you guys are running in your z's. I though this would be a fun thread to see what set ups other Hybrid's are running.Heres mine: 355 SBC AFR 195'S 10 TO 1'S AIR GAP INTAKE 750 HOLLEY VAC SEC 286/490 COMP MAGNUM 1.52 PRO MAGNUM ROLLER ROCKERS PROFORM HEI/TAYLOR WIRES 1 5/8 BLOCK HUGGERS 2.5 DUAL SPINTECHS TPI TH700R4/2000 STALL R200 3.54 OPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Heh. Well, right now it's in the garage with no motor at all.. 350 high nickel content at the machine shop, I think it's never even been bored. Freshly rebuilt, should pick it up in a couple of days. Feulie double-hump heads, forged pistons, fully balanced internally & balanced 153 tooth flywheel. Schneider cam with a little lump, 6700 RPM valve springs, and 1.6 ratio aluminum roller rockers. T5 transmission (I know I'm pushing the limits with this ). Probably an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap and 650 Holley carb, mechanical secondaries (4150), though I haven't quite worked that all out yet. Maybe 700 carb though mathematically 650 will be fine. Flowtech coated block huggers. Probably just a standard HEI system. Exhaust will dump into 2.5 inch downpipes that will join after the tranny and exit via 3" to, I don't know, maybe a Spintech muffler. I haven't quite worked this out yet either. 3.9 R200 open diff, Tokico Illuminas, sectiooned struts with Ground control coilovers. really weak springs right now. (150/175 F/R). Soon to add MSA swaybar upgrade. Polyurethane bushings everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Awe, you just want to brag! Chevy 350 with Stealth intake, Holley 750, Comp Cams roller rockers, Summit performance cam and lifters, roller timing chain, upgraded Accel HEI, big wires, blockhuggers, etc., JTR kit, Aluminum radiator w/Taurus fan, etc, etc, all waiting to go into the right 240Z (goodbye 260Z..snif). No braggin' quite yet...except after the turbo upgrade... As for the tranny--WC T5 which will be upgraded with a Gearzone balance shaft and Pro 5.0 (or like) shifter, R200 open diff, and urethane bushings. Geez, I have almost all of it except for the right car! For protection, I have an SW 8 point rollbar/cage.
