I was reading one of the thread. It sound like running a tripple Mikuni in a original L24 not going to give you much speed or power. This is what i have now on this car. I already spent so much and I have not yet gotten my first drive. I need some power and speed. I also will be looking for a dual exhaust system that will sound great. Not those crappy hondas, acura and whatever those idiots are running in the streets around here in South Florida. My friend call me and said he found 280zx in the junkyard and it has a 5 speed trans. Should i get it and what else.

So i have a Ford 460 rebuild bored 30 over and I was thinking about dropping it into the 72 240 mostly because I have so much trouble with the original motor.. its fixable but I just feel done with it.. The motor is out of my fathers truck and he doesn't want it anymore... I was thinkin about making a drag car out of it.. the motor as it sits puts out close to 500 HP. I figure with some slight mods it will be BAD!!!!.. but help me out... So what kind of project may I be getting myself into? any heads ups or anything of the sort? Thanks guys Jake

Hey guys, A co-worker of mine was telling me about how hes rebuilding a show truck and how he had a 351 Cleveland that came originally in the truck, and he said he wants to get rid of it. I heard that small block ford motors fit awesome in the engine bays of Z's, but would a 351 Cleveland? And has anyone done it to their car, so I can get some tips? Thanks guys

Hi, my name is Brendan I'm new to this forum. I have a 77' 280Z 5spd. I plan to autocross the car. I would prefer to stay N/A. Weight is a big factor for me. I need some help coming up with the correct swap. I was thinking sr20de with vg30de pistons to raise to 12:1 compression with supporting mods. I'm open to all ideas. Thanks. Brendan

Probably costs a lot for the conversion in the long run, but this looked like a good deal to start with for those interested in the GT250 look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230198962067&rd=1
