   So, Im pretty serious about buying a 280z, and crammin in a 302 chevy. Im about to buy a rollin chassis, but i got to thinking about how cramped it is. What are some common problems that v8z's have? Is it hard to change plugs, oil filter, and so on. How bout exhaust, i was lookin under a 280, and theres hardly any room. What should i expect?

   considering a swap into an early z and was wondering if anyone had considered a small rover v8, such as the 3.5L version. i know these can be built to just over 300 horses at the flywheel, and would be better on fuel than a 350. any info would be great

   1982 bumpers on a 1979 280zx ?

   I have a 1979 280zx, and two parts cars, a 79 and an 82. I took both 79 bumpers off figuring I could make one good one out of the two, but after taking them apart, I found out they are both shot. My 82 parts car has the all plastic bumpers front and rear. Would I be able to use these bumpers on my 79? What modifications would be needed? If not, does anyone know where I could get a front bumper for the 79? THANKS

   Easy Z31 front bumper question...

   Hey, I have a 240Z with Sr20det installed and am now venturing out into the realm of the Z31. (and am very excited about it! :classic: ). I really like the front bumper on the 87-89 Z31's but i've found a nice turbo 86 (i think its an 86) and would like to know if i can easly bolt on the 89 front bumper to it. Is this easly done? are the 86 front fenders any diffrent from the 89's fenders? I havent gotten up close and personal with any Z31's so i'm sorry if i'm asking stupid questions. :stupid: . And how about the rear taillights from the 89 onto the 86, that possable? Thanks!

    What did you cover when undercoating? 1 2 3 4

    I am soon to be at the stage where I turn the Z upside down and coat the underside of the floor with Bedliner, rubberized undercoating, or something similar. What areas did those of you who have been here before leave uncoated-what areas need to be left clear mounting-if any? My wondering is due to this synergy: when conventionally undercoarting, the mounting surface are protected from buildup by what ever is mounted to them/undercoating with no suspension (or protection of the mounting areas thereof) will add 1/16"-1/4" to the suspension tollerances. It may be no issue, but I would rather ask and look stupid, than apply it and have to spend a day removing permanent ma…
