Guest Anonymous Posted April 9, 2000 Share Posted April 9, 2000 Lets start at the beginning... I have a '70 240z. I'm putting in a '68 327 bored .060" over. Mostly Edelbrock Performer RPM parts- 64cc Aluminum heads, Air Gap intake, cam, Crane roller rockers, Holly 750 w/vacuum secondaries. 10.25 compression pistons. Muncie 4-sp (m-21). I'm also looking for an R-200 LSD. Nothing really major. I have the JTR book but it isn't very helpful. It givs the basics. Any one have a better description of what to do? The engine is built, now I need info on the install. I need ignition, exhaust, cooling, and suspension help. I'm not planning on going sleeper with this. Thanks for any info..Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any info..Ryan I used the motorsport header full lenght and its motor mount kit also. Engine sits very low and the hood release had to be cut out for the distributor. Engine crank center is lower than my brothers 85 vette. Car handles well. Cooling. I used a new 280 Z radiator from advanced auto. and a cooling fan from a Ford I believe taurus from the junk yard. I fabricated this fan to mount inside the stock datsun fan shroud and it works very well!! I have not had any over heating problem, knock on wood. With fan on the car runs 170 degrees sitting still. This fan has the power and fits well in the stock shroud Bubba Fett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted April 10, 2000 Share Posted April 10, 2000 Hi ya Ryan and welcome. The JTR manual will help you make your front motor mount brackets or you can buy them - they work really well. I don't think the JTR book covers the Muncie but I think the trans mount might work as well. Just be careful of the driveshaft angle. Most of us use the Hooker "Block Hugger" headers but be careful with the Edelbrock aftermarket angle plug heads. Sorry, I'm not an expert on ignition but I think a good electronic unit will suffice. Maybe someone else here can help you with that. The book is also pretty helpful with cooling unless you want to spend the bucks for a custom aluminum radiator. The boys a Griffin Radiator http://griffinrad.com/ would love to make you one. I would keep it light so I would also suggest you consider an aluminum water pump and small gear driven starter if you haven't already. If your struts are in really good shape than I would just replace the rubber bushings with polyurethane ones. It will ride just a bit harsher but it will also handle and turn in better. Don't forget to do the sterring rack and anti-sway bar ones as well. Motorsport Auto http://www.zcarparts.com/ and a few other places sell kits. What you are building isn't to far off what mine was like before I changed out the Holley. It makes for a really nice street car and I think you are going to like it. Good luck!
