Tempered Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 First update in a while. I just moved to a new place and its great. I went from this........ To this. The previous owners coated the floor and its very spacious. I recently shot a quick video of my car running to show the carbs in working order before I try to sell em. here it is. See if you can tell how bad the head sounds. For some reason it sounded like a diesel even after several correct valve adjustments. http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb294/Tempered117/?action=view¤t=116.flv The second I pulled the Z into the garage I started to disassemble it, pulled the cowl, hood, carbs, radiator and other goodies. This is her current state. Just waiting on a cherry picker to pull the whole thing out. I'll update soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempered Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 well now i'm getting cold feet on the Z conversion. Everyone and their brother are telling me to put the 327 in the 50 Ford. I would love too but I want to do it nice and slow on that car, eventually give it to my son. I am almost tempted since I really love the L6 and the twice pipes sound. I just found some triple webers real cheap so that must be a sign that I should keep it nissan. Any one have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showa Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I bought my 240Z for a V8 conversion also... Has a 4 barrel draw-thru turbo system... Got it running and am sorting suspension/ brakes , etc...... I will collect V8 parts as I go.... Still able to auto-x and do track days as I go in mean time.... You might think of a similar route and be able to work on truck too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
