Thanks mike - I have seen that engine calculator before ... that's one cool toy!! I do not see flat top pistions for an L24 - my engine is .030" over with flat tops. - Jeff

Well said by all - Thanks for the replys. Now ... What is the stock comp ratio & stock psi in a 72 240Z ? I'm just thinking about it.. - Jeff

Can compression ratio be figured out from psi? Because berimetric pressure is 14.7:1 ---- is 147 psi 10:1 comp ratio? Does anyone know the stock psi and comp ratio in a '72 240Z ? - diccussions at work.... I say 147psi does not make a 10:1 engine .... my friend says it does ! who is right? - Jeff

u-joint! - Jeff

It's an automatic ..... He can keep it! - Jeff

That list would make me think it may run hot -- does it? Be sure the timing is set correctly for your use. Check the fuel float level and see if it is closing all the way when the bowels are full.( hot engine .. alittle more gas .. run on.. even without spark) - Jeff

What kind / year of car do you have? - Jeff

Get a 240 block and go thruogh the lower end.... install the 280 head (ether one) on the 240 block and you will have a very fast revving engine with higher than stock compression! I did it.. It's the best thing I've done to it in 8 years of restoration! - Jeff

your location field is not filled in with your location --- where are you? - jeff

" ..........into my engines abyss" You need to remove the thingy from the 'engines abyss' before doing anything else. - Jeff

I need tail lights -- got them? - Jeff

Are there any fuesable links in the engine bay? check and see if they ( if there are some ) are blown/burned through. - jeff

Any of that stuff for sale? - Jeff

Any one know where to find these cheaper? http://cgi.msn.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3068585527&category=20390

Brian - I think I may have a good one for you....... I need to find it. If I find it $15.00 could have it at your door. - Jeff

"THE BIKE DOES NOT GO, IT DOES NOT RUN" " The lack of an engine is a clue" I laughed out loud at that part! Thanks for the link and the laugh! - Jeff

I had the same problem. I used a cutting tourch to get it out and then tac welded a nut in place. Worked well for me. - Jeff

The seller emailed me back right away ---- His reserve is $1,500 soungs like a good / fair price to me - - Jeff

Why does he have a picture of a blue one in there? Seems kinda funny. I email him to ask what his reserve is - we'll see what he says. - Jeff

WOW - THAT"S FUN !! My wife came in from the next room after I turned the volume up!! - Jeff

Take the original engine out ---- stick it in the shed --- Install a turbocharged L28 from a salvage yard, it's a lot less headache to rework one out of the car then do the switch. (IMO) - Jeff

I thought another Bambi took off the hood. - Jeff

This is me with my kids 3 nights before Halloween: My youngest is missing from the pic -- In bed already.

gema - When I put the '78 FI on my 240 block I punched it .030 over and put in TRW flat top pistons ( true flat tops ). Compression went from 140 psi To 185 psi. The throttle response is awsome! - Jeff here is the link I was trying to give you earlier: http://www.hammondsplains.com/zclub/techtips/index.html
