the finer mesh looks like it is more appropriate for this application

Most people in my part of the world wouldn't know what a transport plug is. The engine just ends up in the back of a truck and what comes out, comes out!

What are you doing for the heater hoses down the passenger side of the block? I see some brass fittings in there.

One thing you can do is get it to start for a few seconds to get oil pressure. Cut it off then remove the valve cover, disable the ignition and turn the motor with the starter to verify the oil spray bar flow

$500 is cheap for an LSD and the Subaru route will set you back more than $500. These cars take a lot of money to handle the kind of power you are talking about. In reality you really can't get it all to the ground with out a lot of work, maybe not at all. When you run that kind of power (approximately 4x's what the car had stock) you are going to break just about everything at some point. Unless you have 30-40k to put into it you should reevaluate your project. You basically have to re-engineer the entire car. My 2 cents

The really scary part is that use to be metal and the frame is directly weaker for that lack of metal. Plenty of Z's out there with similar unseen weakness. There are a couple of areas in those pictures that are especially hard to repair. The compound curves in the foot well and the compound curve area under the battery tray. Will be interesting to see how you approach those. You obviously have good metal skills.

looked like a NOS quarter and fender on the wall...

You can use a remote fuel source. If you have a return line, drop it into the can too or you will have fuel all over the floor. You will have oil every where without the valve cover!

Safe bet!!! but that was obvious...

That's an excellent offer!

My wife is VERY tolerant but I believe that wouldn't work out too well for me!!!! But honey, it was dirty...

What is that company that makes all those kits? Oh, Classic tube, did you look there?

Well start a thread on that! I could go the same route if I can deal with the discharge. I come across dishwashers on a regular basis

I believe Motorman is getting very nice paint jobs for a lot less than 15-20k. I would consider shipping any car I got down to his painter. I believe he is in San Diego. He does lot's of Z's

Do you use a dishwasher? I mean it wouldn't surprise me!! In some ways it's the same as a commercial cleaning cabinet. If so, what do you use for detergent? What about grease in the discharge to sewer?

You worried about cross firing or heat?

That's a good clue

That's good to hear! I would be interested in them if they become available.

I like Taylor wires but I think I want a spark plug boot that looks a little more stock. I don't know...

I'd be surprised if that's legal in CA

@Home Built by Jeff Did you say that about the house?

Are you sure the fuel pump valves are sealing? If they don't the fluid will seek it's own level which is a foot or more below the fuel pump

Are you looking for a paper copy? If not, they exist online here on the forum

Now that's rusty!!!
