   Ok after some searching i found a 1982 280z non turbo 5 speed tranny in the local bone yard. The tranny has 160k miles on it =( and they are asking $300. Is this worth it? and will i most likely have to rebuild the tranny? Ohh yah and most importanly this will fit in my 1976 280z right?

   I have a June 1974 Z and need a hood and right fender. I can aquire a Nov 1978 280 Z. Will the hood and right fender fit my Z? I was told the 78Z has a turbo head and a 5 speed. Is there anyway to find out if the differential is a limited slip rear end with out taking it apart? Will the differential fit the 74Z? Can I swap my 260Z head to the 280 motor to keep the carbs and use the 280z motor? Any thoughts will be helpful. Hawk

   I just bought this diff on Ebay minus the halfshafts for $200. It has the smooth cover. Will it bolt right up to my 72 240? Anybody know what halfshafts I'll need? I've heard horror stories but have seen conflicting info. thanks in advance...

   Plastic fan will not fit '71 Z

   I bought a 280Z clutch and fan from someone on ebay. I restored the clutch and the fan and tried to mount it on my '71 240Z. I have a new 4-row rad in the car and a 280 (F54) engine. The fan assy is too thick to mount in the car. It is about 5/8" thicker then the 240 fan assy. Maybe I got a 280ZX assy. What do I do? Is there a thinner or shorter clutch for the 280.

   On my 240z the PO put in the XR 3000 Electronic Ignition System with the L24 engine. That engine is now toast and I plan on putting in a 280z engine. Would I be better off using the 280z distributor or stay with the electronic ignition from the 240z ( using same distrib. as l24) for best performance? One other question, in that L24 engine it had the E88 head with a Isky racing cam, don't have specs atm but would that fit into the 280z head? I don't know what head it is yet, getting engine tomorrow. So is the cam size the same in the heads so it would simply replace the stock one? I don't know much about cams so any help would be great. I can probably get the exact cam an…

    Hello, first I know...I know this is a Datsun forum so ignore my BMW name : ) I cut my teeth in the machine shop on Datsuns in the late 80's and early 90's so I have some exp. with Z's and Dimes but its been a while now so I have a few questions for all you experts. I have had the urge to build a 71 Z with a L20B for a nice little daily driver. Trust me I have had my share of Horsepower and Handling so now I just want classic looks and efficiency. So please don’t flame me with the "Why not a FJ or SR or....?" reply's : ) So to the question has anyone done this swap or knows of someone with good documentation on this. Or possibly a kit for this swap, any help would be ap…
