Healey Z Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share #25 Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks PK. Met with a machine shop: $300-$500...arg. I'm going to move the motor forward and look for another path before I drop 3-5 bills on something that may not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLPurcell Posted May 25, 2011 Share #28 Posted May 25, 2011 Kinsler Hilborn Fuel Injection Datsun 240Z, 260Z, 280ZMade a system not like the above but here is a link to a set that sold on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kinsler-Hilborn-Fuel-Injection-Datsun-240Z-260Z-280Z-/160552313098 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healey Z Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted May 25, 2011 It looks like it is made by ITB...just what you see there is $2K.I raised the motor as high as it would go, moved it as far over to the driver side as it would go and with the 260Z spacer and a few hits with the ball peen hammer, I think it may just make it. I will need to work on the motor mounts first, trans mount second and then do the final fitting of the intake. I am going to make some 1/4 inch plate spacers for the motor mounts, to give me some room to make some final adjustments. This will take some time for me to do, but I will create a new post when completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonV Posted May 25, 2011 Share #30 Posted May 25, 2011 The Hillborn system definitely won't fit.Extrudabody and TEP are two that I can think of off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240260280z Posted May 25, 2011 Share #32 Posted May 25, 2011 John has a great solution as always!If you want to drum up a sheet/flat piece of bakelite from an old household object then it may work as a substitute.This material may even be what the original spacers are made from. Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
