Datsun 280zx 421 Stroker build


Recommended Posts

Hello guys i havent been on in a while, but after the resent death of my 74 260z aka the rust monster i was forced to find another home for my sbc 421 stroker. After searching diligently for another body i came across an 1982 280zx slick top n/a five speed roller for 500$ wth jtr motor mounts already installed, drilled and slotted rotors all the way around, rear bumper delete needs a little finishing work,  new shocks and struts with lowering springs, and some what descent interior needs new seats which will be replaced witth racing seats. Im hoping to have this build completed by the end of march so i will be posting my progress.

i was considering trying to use my 3 piece spoiler from my 260z on thee 280zx. After mocking it up with tape it looks like the part that sits on the hatch is half a inch short on both sides.Do you guys think a body shop could add to make it longer for me i really like the look of this spoiler, if not i will run a pantera hatch.

Well I finally decided on a color for my 280zx. It will be matte metallic gray or silver with a gnose and rotas 17x9 front 17x9.5 rear . Today I also de greased the engine bay and painted it with some rustolium enamel paint so I can drop the motor in and have a nice clean look.
