Gollum Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Man I really wanna come check this car out sometime. Sounds like a real monster. Think maybe you could make it out to the vacaville meet this thursday? Kinda long drive just for a dinner meet n' greet but I though I'd at least throw it out there for ya. Can't go if ya don't know about it right? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=128244 There's the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilredZ Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I wish I could meet... What a story... My old block was pre-66 (64) and used a 5 bolt Bellhousng...which the gentleman that sold me the car was nice enough to tell me. He also provided a newer 6 bolt bellhousing. I attached the bellhousing and spent all day under the car trying to get the motor in it. After 4 hours or so I pulled the motor back out and realized that I had forgotten the block plate (fits between the motor and the C4 tranny). I decided to pull the flexplate to see why it was giving me so much trouble and realized that it didn't fit the new bellhousing. I did some research and have since learned that the 6 bolt bellhousing uses a 157 tooth flexplate...as opposed to the 160 tooth for the 5 bolt.... Now I will have to wait until after the new year to get my new set-up going...I am so dissapointed...but so goes the life of hot-rodding. So...after then I am happy to drive anywhere in the Bay area (providing I have the time) to meet. I like to see other z-cars and exchange ideas etc... lilredz (Rusty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
