I don't have an account over there, from what I've noticed a lot people on this forum have a lot of knowledge on just about everything.

Hey guys, A co-worker of mine was telling me about how hes rebuilding a show truck and how he had a 351 Cleveland that came originally in the truck, and he said he wants to get rid of it. I heard that small block ford motors fit awesome in the engine bays of Z's, but would a 351 Cleveland? And has anyone done it to their car, so I can get some tips? Thanks guys

Hey guys I was thinking about building a 3.1 stroker motor, if not a 2.4 bad arse motor for my 71, and i was looking into heads and i don't have a clue what head is better the P79, E88, E31, etc. could someone who knows about heads spoon feed me the differences. Thanks

Hey guys, I was thinking about doing a LS1 swap into my Z and I've been doing some research on kits and I've only came upon JTR's kit and Johnscars kits. they both get hazy reviews and i haven't seen a bunch of people vouching that those kits are great. Does anyone know of a good place to go to get a kit, or does anyone have any experience with those two places? -Thanks

Hey im replacing the head gasket on my 240 Datsun with the stock motor, and i was wondering what brand head gasket do you guys recommend? I've heard some bad things from various people saying that Felpro gaskets leak, So whats a good brand? Felpro, Beck-Arnley,Rol??? Thanks guys

The production date was December 1971, and the guy i bought it from said there wasn't any emblems in the vent holes so he just went to a junk yard and grabbed what he could find to put in them, so it threw me off. Thanks for all your advice guys, the more im learning about Z's the more im liking them .

Hey thanks guys, that really helps me out a lot. I really liked those emblems, but i didn't want to bastardize the car

Hi, im new to the forum and the Z world so bare with me and my dumb questions for a couple months. I just bought a 240Z that im restoring and it was made in December of 1971. Now when im doing some research on the net, I've found some 71's with the rear quarter roof emblem that says 240Z, and other ones that just have the Z emblem on that panel. I want to be period correct, but i really like that 240Z emblem . My car doesn't have the rear hatch vents, and most of the cars I've seen have the vents and emblem hand in hand, but i have seen some without the vents and they have the 240Z emblem. :stupid: Can anyone help me out?
