JustChou Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I know this isn't the classifieds forum, but since us blue oval guys have such a small presence on this forum, I thought I would cross post it. If it is inappropriate, mods, please feel free to remove this post. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=155975 I hope someone in the forum buys it, so we can keep it in the family!

Beau M Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I don't want to buy it, but got any pictures of your motor mounts? Or even if you just told me what you used that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChou Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I used the Z8 crossmember design (the post is stickied to the top of this forum). Oddly enough, the length between framerails on my 280Z was different from the 240Z from that site. If I did it again I would have cut 1/4" out of the middle.

V8INtheZ Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not trying to be rude, but I think you need to take a couple grand off the price. Its gonna be hard to sell a smog required Z with a Ford engine swap that isnt already BAR approved for the same amount you can get a smog exempt nice driving Chevy powered Z. Nice car though and it looks like you did a pretty good job putting it together. Good luck with your sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested if I didn't have 3 already, Good luck on the sale and hope it goes to a good owner. Are those Mazda Miata seats? EDIT: Never mind they are, sorry searched Mazda in the thread and didn't get a result, but they're listed under Miata. My friend had a set of those Miata seats for a hotrod of his and they are comfy and supportive. I was looking to get some like that, but ended up getting a deal on a set of 2001 Subaru WRX seats.

V8INtheZ Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 We have smog here in California and that car will not pass smog in its current condition. 400Hp Chevy powered 240z's are having trouble selling at $4000 around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 But I agree is a nice car, especially for someone out of state that might want it. Nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.Z Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 We have smog here in California and that car will not pass smog in its current condition. 400Hp Chevy powered 240z's are having trouble selling at $4000 around here. Smog has never stop people from owning such car here in Cali. I had a supra not to long ago mods up the a**, the only thing stock was the shell. when smog comes around I simple shell out $150 more and got my supra "smoged" if you know what I mean. When I sold my supra the next owner sure did not have any issues " smoging" it. While I do agree it's nicer/less hasle to own a smog exempt car(which is why I choose 74 for my swap) a nice swap specially a maf efi ford, I think is worth shelling out extra when smog is due. And I think the price is just right. My swap alone cost me around 2500 IN PARTS and that's only because I got the shell for $350, got a 302 for $125 and t5 for free. ( I work on my brother in laws mustang so I got some parts free.) Not to mention mines carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
