Thanks!

No, i used the late E88 head i had on my car, boat anchor they call them : )   Well not so much i think.

I have done no porting on the head But i have bigger valves and steel seats like in the N42 head. Ended up with a cc of 50 in the chambers, bigger valves ad volyme. Shaved the head to get to 44 cc.

And i have the msa stage 3 kit.

With some porting to the head I  think it will easy make over 200hp to the wheels. 

It still have some power left in the tuning of the carbs. At least my dyno guy said so.

Worked on prepping the hatch and it's glass for a new window seal.  The factory seal is getting very hard & beginning to let rain water in a bit.  Was pleasantly surprised that there was only a small area of surface rust on the bottom underside of the channel for the seal.

Fortunately for me, thanks to Zup, I have a spare cream colored Z car to run around in while I work on the orange car. :)

Yeah, I like that. I would be in the market for one of those but I am afraid I might cuss a lot trying to work on it...

 No doubt. My kids all drive older cars because they like my free labor. Deep down, I still like want to see points in my dist. and carbs on the manifold. I suppose I could bring myself up to date a little, because, after all, "I'm a man. I can change, if I have to, I guess.

Attended the 5th annual charity car show here in Prairie Grove Saturday with Zup.  A very nice event with some gorgeous cars all across the spectrum represented.  Nice turnout on a beautiful day with about 80 to 90 cars.

The import section was dominated by myself & Zup (the only 2 imports).

When the votes were all tallied .... appreciation of the judges for Zup's beautiful Zilver 240 took 5th Place!    Congrats Jim!  (and thanks for the victory beer)

A highlight of the show, was meeting Duane, a owner of a very nice modified 55 Chevrolet sedan.  he is a very knowledgeable guy, and raced against Paul Newman back in the day.  His car I believe won Best in Show.

At a stoplight a few minutes ago in my 240z and a beige '69 KKE pulled up on my left.  Had a brief conversation with the driver, letting him know I admired his car.  He liked my car too.  His car appeared immaculate as far as I could tell.  A couple of weeks ago in a parking lot I noticed a Porsche 944 sitting near my car.  Got into a fun discussion with the driver and learned about Porsche engines as he opened the hood for a look see.
