Well here are my babies, the orange one is a 71 240 with a Chevy 350, the blue one is a 74 260 mostly stock. 260 is a daily driver while the 240 is pretty much for show and go!

Engine

sorry about the two engines!! I meant this one to go before engine!

Last one!

You have a pair of great lookin cars !!!!! You should be very proud of them !!!! One question what type of rims do you have on the 71 240Z ???? I have the same ones on my 72 !!! And what size are the center caps for the rims ?

Good Luck With Them and I Know you will !!

ENJOY THE RIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Alex,

The rims are 15" 1992 Enki's with special machined knockoffs, the tires are 205 50x15 Goodrich Euro TA's. They look pretty good, would like to go a little wider but when you put to people in the car you get some rubbing go over any major bumps. It has lowered an inch or so, that makes a difference as well.

Thanks for the compliments, it's been fun, taking the 240 to a show next weekend, so i let ya know how we do!

Z ya later,

Zlish

that's a very nice looking Z, I'm not a huge fan of pushrods but you've done some really nice work there, and I was curious what kind of air dam is on the front of the car?

Thanks Bean! You can get that Air Dam at Motorsports Auto, (www.zcarparts.com). They have a great selection.

Lot's of looks and no comments, seems like alot of folk here are prejudice against a fast car . Well, i know that i have worked just as hard on my car's as anyone else here. I always give props to those who make ANY Z look nice!

I'll take my self over to hybrid if that's the case.

Thanks to those who have given the compliments!

Zya Later,

Oh c'mon now, you aren't leaving us Zlish.... :devious:

Have been out of town without a computer or I would have commented. Got lost in the postings when i got home.....

Like them both, although personally I would used the 260 for the Chevy swap. Gotta keep those earlier cars close to original.

How is it you have two running cars and I have 4 that aren't running?:stupid: :disappoin

Your Babies! Look great! - i'm finishing my '72 240 's exterior simular to your 240 - in blue. It has a mostly stock engine(.030 oversize w/ TRW forged pistons, 2-3/4" exit on the header. I hope to have it on the road in the spring! -- again your cars look great!

- Jeff

Thanks guys, i am a little sesitive i guess! I did not swap out the 240 i bought it that way because i was going to do it to the 260 but the money spent on the 240 was less than i would of spent on the swap out on the 260. The 240 is immaculate, i have to do nothing except maybe some suspension and brake upgrades.

thanks again.

Jeff my 240 is 30 over as well with TRW forged pistons. I have a Sagina tranny and a R200 rear end. 750 double pumper to top her off, hooker headers (one piece welded). Two oil filters (see pic). Needless to say i have had lots of little Honda's thinking there racing a 240 and simply laughing at them as i am pulling away, which i usually do in the 260 as well.

2Many, i forgive ya, i thought for sure you would of said SOMETHING by now, you always say something!!

Z ya later,

Hey man... those cars look great! Certainly look a lot better than my shells. Neither of my cars are operational....

I actually like the V8 modification. In fact, the original Scarab conversion (saw one at the Motorsport Show) is one of my favorites!!
