Metal Magoo's 280Z Resurrection


Recommended Posts

Good news! I found a SBC 350 with 51,xxx original miles. Turns out it was built in November of 71 (I thought '69) but installed in a 1979 GMC vandura. Same block as a 69 Z28 though. By far one of the easiest engines I've removed.

 

JTR manual is on its way!!

 

Apparently it being in a truck/RV means it had a mild cam installed.

 

Can't wait to clean it up, tear it down for rebuild, and install some attractive goodies.

 

No idea which transmission I'll be going with. T56 is wayyyyy too expensive nowadays. Might go CD009 from a 350 or G35.

Hooray! My JTR V8 conversion manual is here. Time to read this 4 or 5 times.

I skimmed through already very briefly before DHL was even down the driveway. Missus is making stir-fry, I'm drinking beer.

My current crossmember has the stock engine mounts hacked off. I may be hooped. It appears the mounts in this manual bolt up to the stock engine mounts. Balls. That means I need to survey my '77 engine mounts.

 

Anyway! Excited to share this adventure with you guys.
