Wow Sailer Bob.....it’s been a while.......welcome back. I have a number of threads I’ve started on building the F54/p79 combo. Shaving the head and shimming the towers is the secret to getting performance from your set up.....flat tops also. I would make the cut out for the manual fuel pump.....you can always go either way if you choose. Guy

I use the stock manifold on my cars. Never really liked the hollow sound of headers and have heard (but can’t verify) that headers don’t add that much h.p......stock exhaust manifolds are fairly efficient. If I were building a true race car, I would go headers......on the street, stock manifold works for me. IMO

Ditto that from me too Charles. He gave me an early present when he sent me a door for my sculpture.......a super member!

I’m so excited about this Resto mod. This car is going to be sooooo incredible!!!! Safari Gold on this jewel in 3 weeks.

My body man is finally getting around to starting my Z car wall sculpture. Thanks to Zup for going out his way in getting the driver’s door. I don’t think he needed to apply the parking brake on his parts car that he got the door from to keep it from rolling away. No one will steal it either. I’ll update as it progresses. ?

I’d say those two pieces are the mother lode, you should thank the Datsun Gods! Great buy!

DEAL.....You lucky SOB......I hate you!!!!! But....I bought a perfect 71 gas tank today for $50.00 .....just like new inside! Also got an F54/ P79 engine for $150.00.

Good point on the rubber washers Site. I used rubber “O” rings under each bolt......not only does it keep the spoiler off the paint, but allows water to pass through for drying purposes and by sealing the bolts, it keeps water out of the holes in the deck.

Rich.....I don’t know what you charge, but I’m sure it isn’t enough!!!!! Very, very nice.

What a great sounding symphony!!! Beautiful car too.

I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s been working for Ford in a big way with the Mustang (pretty much unchanged from original design).......not so much with the Camaro. I think if Chevy had made it closer to the original design they would have hit a home run, but they can still do it if they so choose. I just say ditto to everything grannyknot says above......why change perfection. Nissan needs a boost.....this would do it. Not much on their menu today that I would buy......especially since the Xterra is gone.

You guys are terrific.....no more noise! Best part is the advice was free.....and that’s a good deal at twice the price!!!!! Thanks again Jim.

........and there is absolutely nothing in the Universe nuttier than a squirrel’s turd! Cliff, I hope you never leave this site ?

You think If I screwed in an NGK I could get it to fire on 7 Blue?

Perfect.....Yes I love the way the strokers pull with the SU’s and their simplicity. Just didn’t know if they were lean at WOT. Thanks

Great....I just ordered 2 bungs with the M18x1.5 plugs. One for each of the two Stroker Motors (I’ll have them welded in the Dow pipes). Curious as to how the A/F ratio is with the SU’s. Have you ever checked your Stroker with the SU’s? If so, what were your numbers?

Right you are Jim. It’s not an early manifold, it’s a manifold from a ZX with no exhaust tubes......W48. I tried 3/8 and 1/2 inch plugs.....one too small and one too large. I just want to plug it. I’ll order an M18x1.5 plug. Thanks so much for your help.....I am always impressed with your knowledge of Z cars. Regards Guy

Took the white 70 for some exercise. Developed an exhaust leak (loud). Found the cause....she’s missing a bolt (plug) from her early exhaust manifold. Anyone know the thread size of this item, or better jet do they have one they could spare? Thanks Guy

Sorry, missed that you wanted the decal numbered. Mike at Banzai had someone stencil my engine (brand new) serial number (in the engine bay) engine plate. Call him.....if anyone knows where to get it done it would be him.

Banzai Motorworks sells them. zzxdatsun.com

We’ll get there at 5.....start running at 6. Hope to get a least 3 runs. Would love to have you join us.

This should pretty much cover it. BTW, if anyone close to Dinwiddie wants to join us, we’d love to have you.

Safari Gold......great color choice!
