Thanks for the input guys, I'm looking for something that is not really for racing in any event (but I guess it couldn't hurt). I just want to increase the safety a little and I think a roll bar looks cool. I was thinking of a four point. The front points bolting to the body behind the seats where the seatbelts have that pocket and the rear points to the strut towers.

I want to install a roll cage in my Z. I looked at the MSA one and didn't like it. Then I found these S W Racecars can someone make some suggestions or recommendations. Thanks.

Yea!! Get some. I love the last picture!

I recently ordered a cam from MSA also, well I can't say recently since I've been waiting for 3 months. They said they had a problem with them not having the sprocket hole in them. I did order the whole kit from them. They also suggested I remove the cam spray tube and block off the holes since it's an internally oiled cam. Do you guys know if the cam is guaranteed for life? I'm building an engine and until I get my car done I probably won't run it for a while. Phred, do you have any specs for heads? I'm putting new intake seats in a N42 and my machine shop can't find specs. Mainly the valve stem height.

One thing I learned on my trip from San Diego to Niagara Falls is have a GOOD spare tire for your trailer. I also got one of those little 5 ton floor jacks that you can pick up at an auto parts store. Good luck on your trip.

What are the benefits of installing these camber plates?

It sounds like you already did your homework. The N42 already has large valves and is a direct bolt on. If you are going to look for a head take your time and find one in good condition. I'm having a hard time finding specs to rebuild mine and it's been at the machine shop for a couple of months now because I have to wait for parts that are on back-order. If I remember correctly the N42 head with the flat top pistons in the F54 will give you 10:1 compression.

Sorry about your loss. I'll definately keep an eye open here in the northeast (incase the thief gets this far before being castrated).

It's always sad to see one go.

On my last rebuild I assembled all the chain components then I put the cover on. You just have to make sure that the distruibutor drive sprocket thingy is properly alligned. I don't even own one of those cam chain tensioners. Just assemble it all with the cover off. Alot easier!

My wife never heard that one coming:stupid:

I pulled my engine & tranny last month. I stripped it down about the same as you. I bolted the front of my chain to the holes up by the # 1 spark plug used a grade 8 bolt. The rear of my chain I used one of the exhaust manifold bolts. Engine and tranny no problem. Set the balance so the rear hangs about lower than the front. Should come out with out any problems.

Definately a tough question. After being married for 14 years I want both but can only get one.

If everything else mentioned is o.k. check your float level.

I don't get it. I understand that we all like to make something that has never been done before. But WTF! This guy probably put the rest of the corvette on his daytona.

I thought it kind of looked like a cobra as well. Hmmm, Cut those fenders off redo the front and whalla a clown driving a cobra/mg.:classic: :stupid:

:sick: , .

Sorry I can't help you. I don't know a thing about them webers. But it does sound like a fuel problem. Good luck.

Give us a little more info like, what kind of engine, which carbs, what is the timing set at? Did the engine go through a complete rebuild and are you sure the timing is correct?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my gas tank clean and rust free while I restore my car. I took the tank off and drained it. Now it's sitting on the shelf. I was wondering, if I do nothing will it rust on the inside? What should I do?

Don't ignore it. Not only will it clog your filter it could clog your pump. The small chips of paint will work there way into the pump and accumulate. seizing the pump and breaking the drive. Clean that pan!

I've been away for a while and was sad to hear about your accident. Good to hear that your O.K. Keep your chin up. Glad your back!:classic:

I remember a thread a while back that started "Guess what this is?" It was a picture of a 240 with the supra twin turbo. So I would guess it does fit. Can't remember much more than that. Good Luck.

Just wanted to say, Thanks! To all you guys that went to the MSA show and posted your pics. I didn't get to make it this year but I sure do love those pictures.
