Iceman Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ok, so I finally made some decisions for my project. Currently I have a 1970 240Z with an '83(?) L28 with SUs After going back and forth between building the L28 a little more vs going with a SBC, I have finally decided to go with a SBC I also FINALLY decided on a color: Subaru's "Newport Pearl Blue" Here's a pic of it on their Forester model. It's a very electric blue. Looks even cooler in person. Coincidentally it kinda matches my Iceman nickname since it's kinda like ice. My SBC is going to be an '88 350 that is currently in my '65 GMC. I have a nice old OLDS 455 that is going in the truck. I think the setup that I have on the 350 will be nice for the Z. It has an Edelbrock Performer intake with a spread-bore Quadrajet carb. Most of the time I will be able to motor around on the 2 barrels, improving fuel economy, but then I can mash it and open the secondaries. This has been very nice in my truck because it gives me a lot more control before WOT since there is a very noticeable resistance before popping the secondaries open. It also is a lot of fun when I am playing around because I can make a challenger think WOT on the primaries is all I got, and then open the secondaries next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 I actually found a picture of a Z almost the same color that I am planning.. It's a little closer to "baby blue" than I want though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Got some seats this weekend. Here they are set in place. Will have to fab new mounts, but that shouldnt be too much work. I pulled these from a Nissan Pulsar, I think. Not certain about the model, and dunno what year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Found some old pictures.. here's some pics of my accident in '03. Got t-boned by a drunk driver. I guess these are my "before" pics as far as my current build-up goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here's some progress pics: Floor mats are in just for pics. I cant decide whether I want to use bedliner for the whole floor and just put these mats on top, or if I want to carpet the whole floor. Anyone want to buy the mats? That might help me decide.
