waynekarnes Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 i'm interested in hearing about ca. smog legal V8 swaps into 280zx. problems/solutions/referee sticker ? pictures. not in position to build or buy just yet ... dreaming, that a luxo barge would be nice to cruise the freeways in. plus it would look sweet in the driveway next to my V8 240z. in 81, i owned a 79 zx GS, i put 22k on it in a little over a year. comfortable ez driving car. completely different car than it's older sister the 240z. thinking a V8 zx might be the e ticket to bring a little of the Z excitement to the zx, and still be able to enjoy the luxo cruising aspect of the car. i like em both. i'm an odd bird, put money down on a crown kit to put a V8 into a corvair. 1974 was 18 at home, parents frowned on me adding another car to my collection. 81, bought 66 corsa ... yee haa ! it could blow the doors off my zx. sold corsa and zx, bought an 70 LT-1/ZR-1 factory modified convertible. never did the swap, it's still on my wish list. wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynekarnes Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 just got back from walking the dog. get that exercise. thought that was you and your zx. would have loved to have gotten another look at your zx before you sold it. Alex was telling me, it was quite possibly the nicest one he had ever seen. modified or otherwise. he seems humbled by your engineering prowess, i know i am beyond impressed. thanks for the link to the 968. i just might use your modeling/fiberglass technique to make a few items for my son's baja bug project. wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
