rdefabri Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted January 30, 2006 Actually, I think I am going to do the full resto!I'll start with the big stuff first and work my was back, but I have neither the room nor the time to pull it and store it. If I am going to hot rod a Z, I'll get me a 1977 or 1978 280 and do the F54/P90 or N42 swap or maybe even a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenz240z Posted January 30, 2006 Share #14 Posted January 30, 2006 Keep us posted with progress! I had my original engine rebuilt for just under $2k. Runs like a champ! I have the automatic, so not as snappy as a manual, but not bad if I shift it through the ranges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share #15 Posted January 31, 2006 That's a reasonable price! Who did you send it to?Unfortunately, I am in NJ, where nary a Z lives much more these days....loads of snow and salt makes 'em a rare breed. Anything I can do to minimize the expense.Just a comparison, to have my XKE engine rebuilt, Classic Jaguar (a top Jag shop) charges about $10K for a STANDARD REBUILD!!! $2K is a relative bargain considering the similarities in the motors.Most of the original stuff is there, but needs refreshing. It'll take some time, but I'm game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
