exhaust question
the question is the difference betweeen headers and stock manifold and its true there is not neglible difference in weight. with the small amount of articles you are speaking of there is NO significant hp increase, and still on a stock engine the header will not do much of anything in relation to gain power. that coupled with the fact of the cost of an equal length header, lets face facts after the heart ache and money, id keep the stock manifold hands down

exhaust question
but you will not save any appreciable weight with headers. as a matter of fact some of the headers weigh slightly more the then manifold. someone known to me has weighed the differences from the section for the F54 setup from headpipe to flange for the cat and it was only 2#difference( ie manifold vs header), still a savings over the header. the point is that the WEIGHT SAVINGS is NIL over the two, and in some cases, the header WILL WEIGH MORE

Side moulding
by rivets. some like to leave them off as i do. i dont like the look they give the Z and prefer myself to leave them off. i would put them on the way they came off with rivets. what i did to remove mine was to first of course remove the rubber from the insets of the side molding then carefully use a drill to drill out the old rivets. good luck james

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
i am i was looking at a really decent looking 70 in san fransisco but ive been worried as of late with cars ive been looking at. i have a few friends in california that have tried to view cars for me but then at the last minute the people flake out and that worries me. why wouldnt they want someone to look at it. ive gone just on a whim before, sometimes it cost me, and i had to come back and waste a lot of money. i think thats what some are thinking. well if he comes he will have to buy the car to have a way home. hehe not!! ive done it before recently with a car in florida is it that hard to find a 70-71 with a 2.8 and triple mikunis

Front Bumper Bar Mounting Brackets
different at least here in the states. the 260s had a little spacer which put the bumpers out further away from the car. then a filler would go inbetween to make up for the space to try and give it a clean look

exhaust question
will not gain you anything in the hp department. you can keep the stock manifold and still get an exhaust system from MSA for about 150 dollars its a mandrel bent 2.5 inch piped system into a dynomax turbo muffler. most seem to like that it gives you a little in the hp department and you dont sound like an angry set of bees buzzing down the roadLOL

wheel help
and your springs arent sagging you could go with 16x7 wheels and a 225 50 16 tire without any problems. you might be able to fit 17's but im sure you would need the use of coil overs though im not 100% sure on that. james

240 bumper on 280?
and there is a write up on it i just dont know where i saw it at though. the front should be easy just by removing the bumper shocks and mounting new mounts for the 240 bumper. i dont know how you would do it to the rear because the 240 has a mount bolted to the rear of the car. james hope this helps a little:ermm:

newbie Z help
wasnt that good but the car looks pretty good. nice and seems straight which is a good thing. the engine can be a 2.8 just becuase the head accepst the mechanical fuel pump doesnt mean he doesnt have a 2.8 block. there are several combinations that people like to use on there cars this might just be one. looking for a gas tank, go to www.car-parts.com they have a ton listing from yards across the country. looks like you have a nice set of enkie wheels on the car too.

tick tick tick
its a gremlinROFL and its going to be hard to find i would check the intake exhaust gaskets, fan, wheels for warn parts, rotors, bearings and the like. if it is suspension related meaning you just noticed this after the suspension work, i would think to check in that area first and work your way from there. no way to really tell. just go over your front end really good with the wheels off the ground

Installing Air Dam... problems
and the shock absorbers for the bumper will come off. if you dont have air tools i feel for you. try some heat on the nuts bolts if you have torch and then try removing them. if you have the air dam that replaces the bumper they will have to come off anway.
