Real fast who here would be interested in a strut export brace for the z?

Muskrat Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 72 240z megasquirt Explorer 302 single pass mounted turbo, flipped shorty headers goal=400 rwhp. Ford T5 R230 rear I also would be interested in mounts and trans mounts only, but would like a bit of infomation on where the motor will sit in the bay relative to the Alsil kit. Also, with your fabbed mounts will the motor clear the steering shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman47 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sounds like most us ford guys are using our turbo`s to our advantage thats the reason i really think we have the upperhand on chevy is that there is so much info on making the 5.0/5.8 turbo`d. Thanks for the interest guys i`ll get the parts list tommarrow and post it. I think we may make an entirely new front crossmember as an option, for the more serious track cars that need more support. So basically you will have the option to buy the mounts or the front and tranny crossmember. Unfortunately I wont be able to price qoute the parts at this time because i would be lying if i said i knew, but If i cant make it comprable to jtr then im wasting my time, and you all wouldnt buy the kit anyways. I think the most advanced thing we are going to do will be the 9/8.8 inch setup that we are doing, It will be awsome if we can just bolt or tack weld a few mounts and stack a 9 inch in our cars. I still want to hear any ideas of parts you guys have wanted but no one carrys. Thats the reason i started this whole thing was because i couldnt get anyone to help me with my chassis so i bought a mill lathe tig welder and found a ace fab guy and now my goal is to help all you guys out with those parts that would complete your dream. I hope to just make enough money off this project to pay for my car and tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob88 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 i would also be interested in 302 mounts 73 240Z cheap 302 250-350hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 71 240z 302 Shorty headers. stock hp (225??) - 350 T-5 R-200 w/ LSD Very intrested in mounts that will smack that 302 right up against the firewall, also intrested in tranny mount. Is 225 the stock hp for a 1994 block? just wondering if so does any one know how i can make that into about 300 with little money (under $300)?

Capt_Zorro Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Need to leave a little room for the heater hoses if you drive it on the street. If it's just a drag car won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 ur right about the heater hoses i ment as close to the firewall and down as far as possible with out sacrificing streetability... also a heater + fan are nice for dual radiator action. If you are cheap, run an older car with poorer radiator, or are simply stuck in miles of traffic on a 90 degree day it is quite nice to be able to shunt some of the heat to a second raditor with a good fan. So yes make sure hoses fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 305240 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm also interested in the rear. I have acess to a narrowed 8 3/4 Mopar rear. 4:10 posi unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HITMANVEE Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hello hitman YES I would like to buy a kit What I need to do is to put my 351w sbf with a 4speed auto in my 73z Mainly I’ve been stomped by the fact that all exhaust sys do not fit I'VE LOOKED; I think what needs to be done to make this happen is to make some custom headers. My favorites are the full length kind 3''collectors and 1-5/8 pipes would be nice That’s the only way there going fit anyway the shorty headers have the collectors right were the frame is, steering ect.So hopefully it won’t be to much money I’ve heard that custom headers are a small fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
