msa sells rebuilt from ATK head for 495, i dont think thats to bad of a price. i was priced from jasper engines for a 82 2.8 long block only 1600. also not really bad. depened on how bad the cancer is and it doesnt seem to be too bad and if your only going to pay 300 what the hell get it save it and love it :classic:

hehe ive owned almost ever Z car there was, except for a 280ZX or ZXT, and a 90+ 300ZX and well now the 350Z

Go to this site, read, learn and be enlightened!! your quest is but pultry to the gains possible:D Http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt oh did i also mention before he changed from this set up he was at 450 RWHP in a daily driver:o

chuga chuga chuga chuga woooooo woooowoooooooooooROFL sorry i couldnt resist:devious:

but you can pay as much as 500 dollars for a used one and no warranty at all. clutch packs are expensive, to replace. with the quaife no worries and better selection. now speaking of the N42 head i dont know if any of you know of Norm, he has a 71 240Z daily driver, with his engine made of junk yard parts. its a small 2.9 stroker and with the N42 head and su's and hes turned a best time at the track of 12.92 he balances and hand sands his own pistons and rods and such. hes a true marvel at the track and on the street and in the Z world. if you ever feel curious about going to the other Z site, you can ususally find him at www.Zcar.com and www.hybridZ.org

if you want to be limited and not have that fast or streetable car, then by all means, stick with the carbed n/a motor. if you must have an N/A motor then you should go with fuel injection, not carburetion. its a simple plain know fact that injection is better the carburetion any time. the best engine in my opinion, would be a 83 turbo motor, upgraded turbo with upgraded injectors. more power, reliability, streetability.<~~is that a word. however i do agree with the tranny selection and rear selection but would also stick with the R180 with a quaife differential. just my .02

it would be a little hard and really expensive to get 300 hp out of an N/A straight six application, yes you could use webers but when when fuel injection is so much better. on that same note the price you would pay for a set of webers would almost buy you a goos stand alone fuel management system from someone like SDS. now if you were to drop a 2.8 turbo motor into your lil 240, 300 hp would not be hard to reach at all.

i love it, caveman hehe keith your freindly neighborhood caveman

first check to make sure the system is bled properly, also make sure your fork is adjust properly for engagement. i would chek over the master and the slave. if they need replaced they are both fairtly cheap parts. look at adjustment on the slave for the fork and see if this does the trick. that was my problem when i installed the 5 speed into the 71 i had.

SCHWEEEEEEET!!!!!!! oh and one other thing its the perfect color :classic:

2many would be the godfather of the Z

"this also makes since to replace because after I get done driving my car my girlfriend won't come within a mile of me because of the fumes on my clothes" the reason for the smell of exhaust fumes in the car is one the inherent design of the car and two worn out old 25+ year old seals. yes the rubber seals in the engine bay that attach to the firew wall and at the rear of the car in your hatch and at your rear tail lights.

headers really arent necessary, yet. the reason you smell like a muffler is because you have leaking seals in your car that are allowing the fumes to get inside. as far as a good system msa sells a mandrel bent system for Z cars for 139 dollars. a lot of people are pretty happy with that. its a 2,5 inch system.

i like the idea of how they work better then who i was going to recomend which was haggerty

looks like someone was dipping into the 45 just kidding but i couldnt resist:cross-eye

see if that helps, if not take the starter off its easy enough and take it to your local parts store most will test it for free

i was looking at that one and after 2 days of it being on the internet, it was sold :sleepy:

with the car. only 2 days on collectorcartraderonline and it was sold. eh oh well :tapemouth

El Cajon to be exact. i have someone that is going ot look at it for me and im hoping to contact the seller this evening so ill let you know.

pending further view of a certain car. its from an 82 with manual tranny

but i did buy my very first Z in san diego when i lived there. the guy i had bought it from said there was something wrong with the motor and it didnt run correctly. it was a 78 280Z. well it was 1200 dollars i drove it and looked it over and found nothing wrong with it and couldnt figure out what the guy was talking about. well at highway speeds i found out it would run like i was trying to go from 30 to 60 in 5th gear. just a injector cleaning and new fuel lines and she ran like a top. who knows maybe this is one of those Z's that everyone finds that looks good and has all this and that for cheap, i have someone to go look at it for me though so ill wait for theyre reply to the car.

i guess i truely cant keep myself away from the Z for the i have for them. me thinks me might go back to california for another one!! save for the frustration from the woman:tapemouth well heres the one im looking at, 1500 dollars, urethane bushings threw out, 4:11 rear, 5 speed, little bit of head work bigger valves, exhaust, wheels hopefully not a lotta rust.:sick: this could be my turbo project :devious: now that i have a little funding:cheeky: also since its in san diego, ill just stop by ecology auto wrecking and all Z auto wrecking, hehe they are both right next to each other , and get my tank, fuel pump and a few relays that i need:stupid: dont know all of them. well you were right it didnt take long. i dunno i just cant keep away from them its like im going threw depression or somethign without one:(

im about one hour south of pittsburgh off of 51 30 minuts north east of morgantown hello there :classic:

dont assume anything!! remember the saying assuming makes an arse out of u and me look over the entire car carefully and inpect it with a fine tooth comb. to me it looks like all the damage shown is from the shippers inept work with tieing the car down and i would make a claim and have them pay
