1973 Sublime Green - My First 240z - L28ET Build


Recommended Posts

Well here it is, my first build thread on this site.

 

I am looking forward to see what comes out of it.  Coming from a 350z, building a 240z is totally different.  This is my first time working on a turbo car!

 

I wanted to find a nice platform I can build upon.

 

 

Here are Pictures:

Fair interior (no holes, nothing conspicuously missing)
1 year old quickie spray Mopar 70's Sublime Green body (jams and interior remain yellow), flat black vented 280Z hood
BRE spook airdam and MSA spoiler

 

 
The Good:
 
Body is pretty straight, and mostly free of rust
I actually got it tuned and dyno (despite the oil leaks) - and made 214whp and 250 lb of torque @ 10PSI
Megasquirt Wired Properly for the Most Part
Not much Rust besides Battery Tray
 
The Bad:
 
Rust/Leak in Fuel Tank
Front Timing Chain Cover Cracked (Oil Leak)
Oil Return Line Leaking
Harmonic Balancer Chipped
Interior in Really Rough Condition
Stock Tach not Wired Up
Repair Made on the battery Tray stopped rust but was fixed poorly 
Minor Rust Holes on Floor Boards most patched up 
Poor Paint Job
 
I've already started breaking down the vehicle to clean it up a bit.
