Z31 N/A RB project

Got the motor on the stand in the garage and pulled the pulley and front cover. Will remove the head and intake as one to sell complete.

 

Pretty set on safari gold 920 as the exterior color when the time comes.

About ready to pull the head (will wait for my dad to come over to join in the fun). Cam lobes look practically new. I realized I had to turn it over for the cam reliefs to access the head bolts so I put the belt back on after this photo. All bolts broke loose and ready. I am really impressed with the simplicity of the design on this motor. I was working on my Volvo V70R recently and I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed that engine!

 

My wife said she wants the car to be white and agrees on the 86 fenders after looking at some photos.

Finally found my donor vehicle. Well I found it about 6-8 months ago but the price was too high so I didn't even bother calling to make an offer. I have been daily searching these cars on auto tempest for over a year and yesterday, the price dropped and I jumped. 

 

The car arrives on Wednesday. It's an 86 300zx non turbo auto. Base line model which I prefer for this project. It has 56k original miles and seems to be in outstanding shape. The oddest part is that it's never actually been registered and has instead bounced from dealer to dealer. All I want is a clean shell with good bones and a very nice black interior so this certainly fits the bill. 

On the engine side, Tomei cams, lifters and beryllium copper valve seat rings have been ordered so that the headwork can start. I estimate the engine to be complete in February.
