Invincibleextremes Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Building, or rather finishing up building a 73 240z with a chevy 350 swap and auto trans. It has an r200 and cv axle conversion in it already and an aluminum c4 corvette driveshaft. Still working on it but i got it running, now gotta do the brakes and the widebody kit or flares...

Invincibleextremes Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Got the thing working ok and test drove it a bit, needs more trans fluid but pretty excited to see it move under its own power and stop..

Invincibleextremes Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) got it wired, all the lights work, and it runs and drives just fine now Edited October 15, 2016 by Invincibleextremes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 No body work done yet, but making progress in the drivetrain and wiring for sure. Now I can drive it anywhere without overheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well. It's registered, and actually runs and drives and so on. Still a rotten pile of junk, but I'm hoping to race it in January in Arizona at the ziptie drags. Gotta buy acres of sheetmetal so it doesn't fold in half.

Invincibleextremes Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Video of the sloppy flare install and me driving it on some back country roads and getting after it. Some donuts and mild drifting. Almost done with the 4 speed install and I installed a cheesy phantom grip lsd. Hoping it works better than the open diff did. Very excited about my stacked dual exhaust. It's 2.5 inch dual with x pipe the whole way, but routed to exit at the same spot. Looking forward to fixing all the rust, but priority is getting it on the road and earning it's own keep. BTW I will be putting together an end all, be all ultimate 8.8 irs set in this. I'm just tired of just a 930 cv conversion being close to 2,500.... What I'm trying to do is keep it under 2k with 800 hp axles and disc brakes and 8.8 and everything. Seems like people expect us Z owners to just bend over when it comes to parts. I mean 800 just for stub axles? And then another 600 just for the companion flanges? Sorry guys, not for me.

Invincibleextremes Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Completed the 4 speed conversion and took it out for a spin. Absolutely love it. Wishing I had more traction, but I can't risk breaking the stock stub axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Used a cj7 master cylinder to complete the 4 speed swap with a $99 hydraulic throwout bearing. Worked well actually and bolts right in to our 240z cars. Had to extend the shift linkages and make a custom shift plate to locate the shifter farther back but it all works great now. The phantom grip limited slip actually works pretty decent. Not the best but it beats having an open diff. The open diff really sucked on the few days I drove it.
