running SU's without spacers?

[Healey Z]

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.

Do you have room for a set of Mikuni's on a short intake?

Mikuni's on a short intake, with a short air horn is 10 inches....I have 8 inches of room straight out from the head.

Is anyone familair with who makes this fuel injected system?

Kinsler Hilborn Fuel Injection Datsun 240Z, 260Z, 280Z

Made 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

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.

The Hillborn system definitely won't fit.

Extrudabody and TEP are two that I can think of off the top of my head.

Millboard 1/8" thick. http://www.mcmaster.com/#9362k11/=cgp8pj Paint it with Stainless paint to seal it inside and out - 7721T37 at the same McMaster site.

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
