Rebuild Head or....?

[NC260Z]

Rebuilding a 260Z for my son. Pulled intake/exhaust maniforlds and found one broken exhaust stud (front of motor). Also, cam oiler was not working and the cam is badly discolored. Most of the valves were too tight, I reset.

My questing is, should I do a valve job on this head and install a 280Z cam or just look for a good 280Z head/cam. What year 280Z cam or head should I look for. Thanks for any help you can give.

Cheers

Might as well have a shop go through the head. There's not much of a difference in the cam profiles so just get a new stock cam. If your 260Z still have the stock Hitachi flat top carburators I would replace them with a set of round tops. Contact Scott at Z Therapy: http://www.ztherapy.com.
