260Z350Chevy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So I'll just get right to the good stuff for now... Purchased a 1974 260z in November of 2013. Pulled the motor Cleaned out, sanded, steam pressure washed and primed the engine bay Primed for paint, painted the front grill flat black Shoreline blue pearl Needed to replace passenger side floor Painted on rust inhibiter, also sprayed everything with ruberized undercoating Building the engine engine mock up T5 transmission Made this transmission mount and allowed room for the exhaust to sit higher in the tunnel (in between the mount). Bought an R200 diff and put a Quaife LSD Made a custom front differential mount to accept dual exhaust. Basically ordered another front mount, cut both and welded them together with an extened landing. Cut a hole out for bolt clearance on the differential. Motor installed with brake booster, battery, master cylinder, heat wrapped wire harness by headers. Polished intake manifold, master cylinder, timing cover and valve covers Not pictured yet, but also have the driveline installed and 300zx turbo axles and radiator being cleaned up now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 One of the pictures at the bottom of the page shows and after market brake booster and master cylinder. Can you provide details e.g., p/n, how was it installed and the cylinder diameter? What brake set up are you using with the booster and master cylinder?

Miles Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) You may want to exchange that 3/4 clutch MC for a 7/8 MC. The 3/4 MC has been shown to not have enough throw when used with a T5 transmission. I have used the 7/8 MC on two builds with T5 transmissions. Works good. Also, I discovered that the clutch pedal bump stop (sheet metal bracket) on the floor of my 240Z was preventing full clutch release so I removed the bracket. Currently using: Summit Racing Part Number: WIL-260-10374 Edited June 4, 2015 by Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260Z350Chevy Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info, although we are using a hydraulic throw out bearing with a ss braided line to the MC. We don't have an external slave cylinder. Edited June 4, 2015 by 260Z350Chevy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
