Sidepost battery, fuel rail, AC, electric fans. I like it!

Thank you, I thought it accomplished several things at once. Didn't junk up your thread, populated this section of the forum and didn't offend anyone...win,win So with the larger engine you were able to use the larger SU's? Which head did you use? Rough numbers what does 200HP cost? So you will try to use a dual cable setup instead of some kind of single cable actuating both?

Love it. Keep at it you should be rolling by spring

I would still consider Ztherapy even if I was in Germany. Just might have to get creative with shipping. I think to do it really well you will need some tools unless you have a very well equipped shop. 2 axis clamp table, drill press, reams, source bushings, possibly jets and floats. You will spend half of what they charge just to tool up and buy parts. The other half pays for their expertise and labor, as well as the linkage plating and other misc parts....FWIW

@zKars So we have this 510 here. What motor is in it? Stock or not? Where did you source the SU's for it? I assume they are the smaller SU's...how are you handling choke lever control?

I will start a new thread. Need to populate the 510 section some. Could use any help I can get...

Jim That looks like a 510? If so I have questions for you...

It's fascinating that they only did that on select models and didn't feel the need for it on the rest of the line

Love the picture Jai. That's great!

Alan, On what years would those bottles have been used?

Living in Austin is a lot like living in Portland...

My thoughts on the VIN was maybe it was a low number and it might motivate someone to pick it up no matter the condition.

That's starting to get some shine to it now...

@Barnfind What is the VIN number of the car?

I would enjoy seeing all the pics LS1 or not. You have really good fabrication skills, so seeing how you solve the different problems would be good. Also the car you are doing would have gone to the crushers if you hadn't saved it! So if you want an LS1 after all this work, by all means do it.

By the way Jai neither of these are real easy to get to. Do able but not easy

I love seeing the work pictures I wondered if there was enough metal there too after all the holes get cut....

Evidently it's already gone. Post deleted

If the engine isn't full of water the freezing won't crack it. It's the fullness and lack of expansion room that causes the problems. When I winterize my boat I can't get all the water out of it but since 80% of it is out the last 20% can't break anything...

@Redwing Glad you're still doing well Jai!

I may have a center valance for a 280, I would have to look. Zkars might have it also and he's on the correct side of the border...

Great progress. After being metal swiss cheese, the color is so appropriate

There are a number of areas where the 280z's got more metal than the 240z's did. You will realize it really quick if you pick up an empty door shell from each car. The 280z's must weigh twice as much due to the interior crash bars added inside the doors

This thread makes my tongue bleed...
