i had talk to that guy and have some sketchy reports as well. heres what he told me and the engine he said well just read his mails

Good morning.

Thanks for the interest. It is the original L26 engine. It is not bored out

but I have replaced the original twin SU carbs with 3 weber duces. Also

replaced the intake and exhaust manifolds. I do have the original parts in

the garage too. The carbs, manifolds and air cleaner. Complete with orange

cover. It is an early 260Z. You can tell by the bumpers.

As for the rest of the engine I have within the last year replaced the

original alternator and generator.

I am attaching a few more photos. One is of the engine.

I am selling it because I don't have the time to maintain it and want someone

else to take care of it now. It has never seen a winter.

If you want to chat more feel free to call me. Where are you located?

The battery area is just fine. NOT rusted out. The same with the frame rails.

The only area that really has rust are the dreaded floor pans. The frame is

however fine. When I got the car it was undercoated. It was from New York. I

undercoated what needed to be reinforced with another coat. This was with a

rubberized undercoating. Not the normal stuff. I don't have any pictures of

the underside but if you are serious I can borrow a digital camera and take a

couple. It will be dirty but still in tact.

I installed gas shocks but they have been on there for about 15 years. They

are still good though but you could stiffen up the suspension more. The sway

bar is still original.

A few other parts replaced with NEW in the last few years are the breaks

master cylinder, the master and slave cylinders for the clutch. I replaced

the clutch about 15k miles ago. I rebuilt the breaks 2 years ago. And last

year replaced the factory headlights. They still worked!! But the insides

were giving away and the silver was pealing and looked bad.

As for the engine. I have not done a complete rebuild. Why mess with all

those seals if you don't have to. It still runs wonderful!! Still the

original head and block. Still the original cam too. I get about 250-275Hp as

it stands. You could easily get that up to 300 or more with a few more

things. I never really wanted to.

Oh yea. There are 117k miles on the car and block. I bought it in 1979 and

built the engine in about 83. So that is the last major thing I have done or

had to do to the car.

I repainted it about then too.

I will not kid you. There are things that could and need to be done. This car

is 28 years old and mostly original. But it is and has been a great car. I

only put on about 500 miles a year now because I work to much and have a

family.

So. What do you think?

Well, might be a good project to start with no???
