Anybody know what type of CR to expect with an N42 head on a p54 block? I would use a non-shaved figure as a starting point. I am curious if the CR would be too high to try to get away with using the FI system with a modifier like GREDDY e-manage or some other enrichment/fuel tuner to provide additional fuel and or adjust spark. thanks Bryan

So I bought a 1977 280 Z to rebuild my race car on the chasis. In stripping the tub I discovered more rust than I had expected:cry: but I also found the original canister to inflate the silly spare. I had never seen one of these. Is it valuable? Anybody doing concours want to make me an offer. It is still charged and only has a small rip in the wrapper (still complete). Or is this just a novelty and not worth anything?

I am running the 280 to its legal limit. I have an r200 diff, I have a 5 spd. The radiator opening is different is what I was told and what I was mentioning. Either way I will need a new radiator as mine was crushed. Rear drum is the same but there are a slew of internal parts which are listed as being different between early 240 and 280. I think that tha 73 brakes may have been the same internally. I may have the round ports. I forget which head I have but I think it is a pater p series head (zx?) Fuel pump and fuel tank were merely observations. The tub has been butchered to install a fuel cell. So I will have to go ahead with that. I think that if you pour money into an L24 it will make more power than the RX7 but will either car be a legal IT car when you are done? Lets here more suggestions. I don't want to get stuck midproject with suprises! Thanks Bryan

I am on that, I was thinking that the fuseblock is part of the complete harness. Thanks for the input. Anything else I might be missing? thanks Bryan

I am looking at putting most of my 280z (1977) race car onto a 240 tub. I am curious what I should have on my shopping list and what will fit. Things that I know are different. Dash Tranny Differential Radiator bumpers hood harness rear brakes motor exhaust fuel tank fuel pump door latches tail lights Some of those things are more crucial to have right on a race car than others and some just plain won't fit. Anybody familiar with swapping back and forth who can give me some more clues? thanks Bryan
