74 260z 5.3 resto mod


Recommended Posts

So got some more stuff done today. Gonna start sanding the hood tomorrow I decided I'm going to keep the cowl hood. So time to fix the fiberglass areas. I was in harbor freight today and the sandblasting cabinet I wanted had the wrong sticker on it. So instead of 179 i got it for 119 plus 20% off that. Score!!

did you have to swap the 5.3 intake manifold and use an ls1 intake manifold? 

You do unless u are running a hood cowl of some form the truck intake is a bit taller. However I am not even close to starting the engine side of the building and the yet

Got another decent size order in. Plus looking for some advice. I'm going with a 16x8 0 offset wheel. What is the best tire combo to run I'd like to go beefier in the rear. So floor pans and frame rails are at the house to start on when I get home. Plus those wheels will be ordered next month. Then a mandatory sandstorm pic.

It has been far too long since I've posted anything new on here but the build is moving but slowly, got back from deployment and had a ton going on. So I'll post up all the pics and progress I currently have. I completed the refreshing of my r200 diff to find out that it was an r180, so I made a trade to a guy in town that owns a massive amount of z's and parts. The r200 is almost complete now along with getting the stubs welded to my caveman adapters for my 300zx axle conversion. Also I completely restored my 3 smaller gauges to like new condition and I am working on the speedo and tach. I did a full write up over in the interior faq section 

so if you have any questions go take a look. Also, I've completed the disassembly of the 5.3 which had dropped a lifter. I purchased 243 ls6 heads for 50 bucks and have new valve train to go in them and they will be off to the machine shop in the next few months. The engine block will be after that which will be getting bored to 5.7l and new components. Welding on the project starts shortly as I'm currently completing mods to my shop. And funds are low due to the new baby.
