MAXIMUS Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hey guys(and girls,if any)!! Wheeew! Finnaly got my sh%t together and got my car rolling. It sounds frikking great! I have a few questions/comments. So...,i put in a 406 sbc ( 485 horse/480 ftlbs torque)mated that to a T-56 tranny. I used the stock clutch master with no problems. I read that I would have to change that. why? Also used the stock rad,with electric fan(cyclone)that runs constantly as long as the ignition is on. What is the widest tire I can put on the rear(16 by 7 inch rim)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Sorry I can't answer any of your questions, but CONGRATS on getting 'er together!! I drove mine around the block two weekends ago and she's been at the exhaust shop since Friday. I'm friggin' DIEING to drive it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Congrats, I am so jealous I'm still weeks away. No clue on the clutch question but allowing that fan to run all the time will shorten the life of the fan. You should think about getting a contoller fo it.

SilentNight1647 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Congrats on getting it done it's a good feeling isn't it, I'd love to see some pictures. I don't have a clue about th clutch maybe they were talking about an S30 with a manual throwout bearing as opposed to the hydraulic one on the ZX.

MAXIMUS Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well, right now I have an old set of Yokohama A008r's. I cant keep the tires from lighting up,even in third ! Wanna go to the track this weekend and see how fast it is. Can anyone tell me if a set of Mickey Thompson 255/60/16's will rub or not? Thanks in advance, Maximus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Maximus I have set of 245/40/17's on the rear of my ZX and they don't rub. The 245/45/17's I had on the rear did rub on occasion. Maybe that will help you with what will or will not fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
