I know this guy. I sold him the car. It really doesn't have any rust. The vehicle was stolen and some kid ran it up against some stuff in the front, It was easier to just replace the front fenders...He has a couple z's and is completely trustworthy. grunt0311 71 240z 75 parts 76 parts

78 280zcar, Well I use it, the parking lot that is. Yes all were mine or are except the zx it was my aunt's. Just the scarab and the rhd now. It looks alot worse than it did but a bit closer to stock. I have a cast on my foot right now and can't do much of anything except sleep and watch T.V..I am missing a few that I had but I lost the pics to a computer crash. Everyone think about a guy or gal in the service today, or one that was. If you see one today with their ballcap on, say"Thank You for your service." They will probably just smile and nod. We couldn't have what we do today if it weren't for them. thanks to them all, Have a Great Memorial Day. gruntO311 73 scarab 327 70 rhd uglee

Smokey, I will probably make a few here upset, but for the money/power ratio I would go with the V-8. So far the best luck I have had is with the 700R4 (I am lazy). For a daily driver I prefer it to a 4,5,6sp. If you can get an LS1 go for it, otherwise an LT1 or older TPI. Great performance and great gas mileage (hwy). I got 24mpg with my 87 TPI 350/ 700R4 combo. My scarab is about 12-14, but it a 4 sp. IMHO. Good luck! grunt0311 73 scarab 70 rhd uglee

Smokey, I know how you feel. I got the bug 2 years ago with a 50$ 280z i thought I would get to start on my off time. Needless to say never could get it to start, but then I found this awesome interior less 71 240z. Looked awesome, then the next month I found another 71 with a 350tpi/700r4 combo, sold the 280z for 100 bucks...But the story goes and I found a 70 for cheap and thought it would be nice project since I have the extra space now. My wife gets pissed and the guy who bought the 280 says " what you want for the 240z (has interior now) so I sell it. Now all I have is the 71 tpi hybrid (with sunroof) and the 70, find a deal on a 70 rhd so it now gets garage but it is ugly(I really didn't want the neighbors to see it). I sell the tpi because it had a monster pop up sunroof I hate getting a tan in a hardtop. Lets see now it is the rhd uglly and the 70 which doesn't run. I get in a bind and sell the 70 on ebay. Now just the 70 rhd, a 76 comes into my radar and bam another z ran real nice until the day I decided to sell it, but I am not their yet. Then came a74 260z, a 73 240z, a 76 280z, a 73 327 scarab. I am sure I lost one or two in the story somewhere but it all started back in 94 with that first black 280z, then a 9 year hiatus and bam I am done. My wife doesnt even go into the garage anymore. The rhd is still in the garage and still ugly just not as bad. I have the scarab which I say I will keep because this thing is about perfect, but I just went and picked up a beat up 76 2+2 for cheap just because I had some room. Oh and before I picked up the scarab, I bought a 69 c10 with a 350 as a donor for the 73? I was going to put it into. It is sitting in the parking lot above the house. So I feel you brother. I am just looking for my ultimate Z, but everytime I find it, another looks better or someone wants it and has more money than I have affection for it, or another grand master plan starts because I always read these posts or at hybridz.org. Just keep trucking along...don't tell your wife how much you spend and every now and then keep one of them at your friends house, go with your gutt, wallet or driveway/garage space, everything will work out in the end. P.S. it helps if you live in Southern CA...they have alot of z's here. grunt0311 70 rhd uglleee 73 scarab 327 v8 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/e4nk/my_photos Incomplete but most of the pics are there.. After reading all of it, I just noticed I didn't answer your question. But then again, I can't make up my mind either.

Here you go http://geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html Although I prefer a V-8, but have had alot of fun with the L series also. grunt0311 73 scarab 327 70 rhd still in the garage, still ugly
