Getting head.. done lol

[datsunlover]

Sorry, couldn't resist the silly joke. Anyway, I droped off my 'spare' N42 to a friend today. (got it for $50 complete.. heh) He builds engines as a 'hobby on the side' and actually make more $$ off it than the factory job he holds.. (hes thinking of quiting the factory work and doing engines full time.. ) and a LOT of the stuf he's done is for racing/drag cars. He knows his 'stuf' but is a really modest and honest guy. Anyway, we looked through some books he has and wouldnt you know it; cant find any info in the N42! Lists 240z 70-73; e88, 260z 74; n47 and 280z 75-79 n47,p79,p90. Weird..

Either way, we're sure it'll work fine as I HAVE an n42 on the car already.. He's gona tear it apart, clean it up, do a 3 angle valve job, new seals/springs, port match the intake/exhast and look into a cam (he can apparently get some awsome deals..) as well as take .020" or so off to 'bring the squeze up' as he says.

He seamed excited about it as it is quite difrent than most stuff he does.. he's gona see if he can get me 225 horse or so.. (thats the goal anyway..) I'm tryng to keep the budget in check, and told him that.. but I don't wana 'skimp' and in the end have something go boom cause I was too cheep. I dated this guys sister a few years back too (still freinds though) so he's gona give me a break on $$$. AND I can pay him bit by bit, so I'm not slaped with a huge 'bill' in the end. He he he... gona be faster next year.. yipee!!
