My first Hybrid

[cygnusx1]

Check out some of the work I have been doing with my 76Z and an 83ZXT donor motor. I put the motor in the Z today and it fits. The downpipe points somewhat at the tension compression bushing so I'll have to figure out that dilemma next. Next weekend I tackle the wiring and some plumbing. I am going to mount the ZXT AFM right over the A/C compressor and run a cold air intake right down in between the A/C pulley and the radiator. This will keep the upper radiator support pass-thru's open for the future intercooler tubing. I also mounted an oil cooler to the front of the A/C condenser. I hope it runs as good as it looks. The motor is all internally stock for now. Plans are to get it running and debugged in stock trim and then to add the intercooler and bump the boost to 10 or 12 PSI.

WOW... damn gorgeous work that! I'd be afraid to drive or even touch that car.... ah but then what would be the point? Hanging around this forum is making my own wait unbearable I'm waiting for the mechanic to call me any minute to tell me to come pick up my car ('72 240, having an '81 zxt motor put in). But alas... mine doesn't look 1/10 as nice as yours does... great work

Thanks!

Your 240Z Turbo is going to fly! That is such a light car. My 280Z is quite a bit heavier. Yeah it's a great looking car but I will drive it and drive it right. That's what Z's are for - high dollar performance and looks on a piggy bank budget.
