The Ghost Rider - for sale on eBay 4/6/2003:
Welcome to the "Ghost Rider", one mean looking Nascar style V8 Chevy 350 powered 240Z. I think the word custom is an understatement when describing this fantastic looking car! <snip>there has been at least $22,000 lavished on this car (the reserve is set at less than 1/3 of this), and that does not include the blood, sweat and tears that went into it, the car is a driving memorial to the late owner. It is powered by a tuned Chevy 350 with cam Holley 650 double pumper, headers and has got less than 1,000 miles on it since the engine was built and is music to the ears. The transmission is a 400 turbo with shift kit and a B & M slapstick shifter, I have no idea how many horses it lets rip from the rear end, but I can tell you this much it was the fastest car on the army base (Fort Hood, Texas) at the time. No easy claim to fame to beat. It is fitted with aluminum center line rims, new Cobra tires and full custom Nascar racing style interior. It is also fitted with some very neat little touches, like cable operated door releases, rubber body skirts, fabric covered hood and side exiting exhausts and much more. So now is your chance to drive something absolutely unique - but watch out for speeding tickets. The only way to draw more attention to yourself would be to drive it NAKED!!

I know a few people were following along on this- been a while since I last posted here- but finally all came together!
Mounted up and running strong! Still a few details to work out; but runs good, sounds good, feels good on the initial pulls. Super happy it worked out!

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.
