This bmw engine I'm putting in the Z doesn't lend it self to taking vacuum from it for the brake booster so have been thinking about using a 12v vacuum pump to do the job. Hella makes a pump that seems to be used a lot in Volvo, VW and Audi but I have zero experience with these things. I'm not even sure how much vacuum is required by our brake boosters and I have read a few times in the archives of Hybridz of guys doing away with the vacuum assist altogether. Any advice is welcome,

Does anyone have a picture of an Evaporator installed in a 71-73 240Z? I am installing the AC and found an evaporator but it was ripped out of the car and the housing is mostly missing. If someone could give me a picture in JPEG or scanned I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!!!

I have a 1979 280zx, and two parts cars, a 79 and an 82. I took both 79 bumpers off figuring I could make one good one out of the two, but after taking them apart, I found out they are both shot. My 82 parts car has the all plastic bumpers front and rear. Would I be able to use these bumpers on my 79? What modifications would be needed? If not, does anyone know where I could get a front bumper for the 79? THANKS

Hi, i have a good running 240 which create too much noise on the crank area and lossing oil pressure as the oil gets hot. so i decided to start building another motor. the one i bought is from a 280 with an "F54" ($150.00) stamped on the side and the head has "p90a"($98.00) stamped between ist and 2nd spark plug. do i need to buy a different set of intake and exhaust manifold for it? i already bolt in the fuel pump. Are the mounting brackets the same as the 240's? i am also replacing my 4 spd with a 5 spd(77 280z)($89.00), can you pls give me some tips on what i need to have to do this and so i can avoid some unnecessary expenses? thanks, hf240z@yahoo.com

Thanks, Charles (and i'm asking on hybridz too!)

hi, i'm new to this board, i'm thinking of purchasing a '73 240z that had a 5.0 mustang engine put in already. it's not in running condition. it needs all the accessories put back on the engine, the fuel lines have to be hooked up and the driveshaft from the mustang has to be spliced along with the driveshaft from the Z car. it also needs a rear window and a custom exhaust system. he's selling it for $2600CDN. is this worth getting into? he says he doesn't have enough money to finish it off but yet he says it'll only cost a couple hundred bucks to get the engine running....what else should i look for?

Just found these pics the other day - what a CLEAN 240! I'm not too fond of the colour, but I thought some would be interested. And that's not the only thing about this 240Z which is from a 350Z............
