I'm replacing the engine so I will have access to the header and would like to check the exhaust system for leaks. I was thinking that I would plug 5 of the 6 ports and blow a fog machine down the 6th port and watch to see if fog comes out anywhere from front to rear. Is this a bad idea? Would the fog from a fog machine damage the muffler? Do you have a better way to test for leaks?

Quick question on engine and accessory paint colors...I know that the block is a blueish green which can be bought from Bansai Motorworks. The real question is how much of the engine was this color? Like was the alternator mount this color or different? How about the AC mounting bracket? Oil pan? etc, etc, etc. If these and other items were different colors then what color were they? Pix would be great as well. Thank you in advance!! ?

View Advert LOW VIN ENGINE I have an engine from a very low VIN 240Z. This is an E31 head sitting on an E31 block, block number 2776. From what I've learned this looks to have come out of a sub-500 VIN 240Z. Anyone interested in this? If so shoot me an offer, no lowballers please (the head alone is worth a fair amount).

Thank you Zed Head. I'm not worried about the exhaust manifold as I have headers.

I have a 1970 240Z that I am putting a 280Z engine in (N42 block which should be from a '75-80 Z car). I have heard that there were three different oil pans and some had fitment issues in some cars. So my question is this...will the stock oil pan on the 280Z engine fit in my 240Z without issues? Does anyone have pictures of the different pans and identify which is which?

Also consider Wolf Creek Racing, that's where I got mine from.

Hardway, I'll have to catch up with you after the holidays (not sure if I want 2 or 3 sets). I'm in Cedar Park...what part of town are you in?

Check out this thread, there's a lot of good info in it and from what I quickly scanned I think you do need spacers.

Hardway, I may not have been clear in my last post...I'm interested in the parts also and live locally so no shipping.

Interested. Also, would the fab company let you keep the tooling incase more are desired? I'm sure that they do not keep tooling for very long and it would be a waste for these to be destroyed.

I thought that there was a forum for this though did not see it nor could I find a related thread so I'm starting one. I recently saw an S30 Z car on Miami Vice season 3 episode 11 about 30-33 minutes in (on the TV version with commercials, a DVD version it will be earlier that this of course). In this video it is about 27-28 minutes in: https://www.nbc.com/classic-tv/miami-vice/video/forgive-us-our-debts/n30591

Yes I said that, unfortunately my Linux admin skills are severely lacking these days and I've been having troubles getting anyone to help without charging a significant amount of money. I have a friend who said he'd be willing to help me this month so hopefully things will all be back up soon. It's not just the Z Car content that is on that server so it's been a huge PITA for me having it down for so long.

Well yes and no. All of my sites are down at the moment as I am migrating to new hardware and updating the software at the same time. This has taken FAR longer than I ever wanted/expected it to. I will have everything back up, it will just take me a little while. Please forgive the downtime.
