You might say they were all out of whiskey!

Incredible car.....my friend has one. 147EFADB-FFD9-4493-9849-FE06031898C3.MOV

Hi Jeff....I had my sign made locally....about $600.00. Seems to me that someone on this site bought one of the other signs and was very satisfied with it. Go for it! Guy

If you think he’s tall, you ought to see Cody. I’m enjoying this project......and nice seeing you again at ZCON Charles. Regards Guy

Well played Captain Oblivious!

Don’t be such a stranger Zedy......you are one of my favorite Z peeps!

Very, very nice Moelk. The car sounds and looks terrific! Thanks for the post. Guy

I use MOOG as well.

BTW......Cotter pins were added later?

Blue....I’m not an expert, but the Datsun heads are 108mm from upper to lower surfaces. The measurement that are taken are from the top to give you 106mm result (2mm or .080 inches removed). If the head was previously cut .015 inches, the machinist would only cut the head .065 inches. I went back and checked the stats on Eiji’s Stroker that he built for me. The chambers were 44.5 cc’s not 44. I was there when he cc’d the engine, so I watched him cc the number one, number six and the number three chambers. All cc’d at 44.5 cc. Anyone else want to chime in? Guy

You are showing the P90/P79 head cut 2mm with a 46cc chamber. Actually those combustion chambers are 44cc on those two heads after the cut. We (Eiji and me) cc’d The Head......they were 44cc’s. The head in the picture was cut again to give us a chamber cc of 44cc’s.

Yes....The spot weld dimples along the edge of the wheel well......no dimples usually means a cover up bondo job. Not good.

Jughead.....Yes the dogleg is a factory piece. I bought that piece from Danny’s Datsun (no longer is business). I’m not sure what year the dogleg is, but the car is a 71. We had them cut the dogleg forward of the seam so that would remain perfect. We also took care to keep the “dimples” on she edge of the inner fender to show that there was no rust in the metal......important not to fill those dimples IMO.

Here’s mine.....

Yes....That’s where I saw those panels. I tried to buy them too....seller wouldn’t split em up.

Yep, sure did Charles....add a digit and it’s a 73....get that Wayne?

Hi Wayne.....That distance is just under 2 inches on the above 73. BTW, number 16,303 is a 1970 240Z.....it wouldn’t have the offset bracket. Guy

Better shot of the 73 pedal....

Here’s a thread I started on my 73 auto swap. Seemed to me I initially went with an early pedal and it worked, but at an awkward angle. I later installed a 73 pedal. The 2nd pic is from my thread with the early pedal....the 1st pic (dark pic that I just ran out and took for you) with the 73 pedal. Note how much closer to the brake pedal the 73 is (correct geometry). I’d go with the 73 pedal if it were me. IMO

Gonna be incredible!

Wow Blue....That’s a blast from the past. I remember seeing those for sale about 8 years ago. I drooled over that set. Where did you find that archive? Seems like they wanted $1200.00 if my memory serves me.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I hope Delta Cams is around for a long, long time. They do beautiful work. I’ve run them in all of my performance L28’s, including the stroker.....absolutely no problems. I sent them 72 rockers myself for inventory...........like fine jewelry. Glad you are a fan Jim....I am too.

Just call Motorsports and ask them to send the right clutch, collar and bearing. They know Z’s and will match everything for you correctly. I use the 240z combo on all my 4 speed and 5 speed Z’s. All have 280 motors......they’ll fix you up!

I couldn’t agree more. You’ll get top dollar...I’ve seen Z’s a heck of a lot worse than this go for $35,000.00 on BAT. Especially if you get in a bidding war. Rich, just take a ton of pics, put a $40,000.00 reserve and watch the fun! I’ll bet this car hits $45,000.00 on BAT. You probably have $37,000.00 invested, especially if you count your hours at $70.00/hour.
