if anyones wanting to change their auto to manual, i ve just finished mine "76 260 z,we fitted a 240k,fs5w71b,5 speed,ratios are,3.321,2.077,1.308,1.000,0.864,,r3.382,the clutch pedal was no prob,i just got a brake pedal off another auto z,it just needed one hole drilled in it, for the master cyl fork pin,otherwise the pedal just bolted straight in. the hole in the floor needed a bit cut out and the gear lever i sourced needed a bit of bending,the auto was very tired and did 0-100klm/hr in 13.5 secs.the manual has dropped that to about 8.5 secs,a new clutch would see that drop to 8 i think,but my budget is very low so ill just nurse it and enjoy.

my z has always been a bit of a get together project with a mate,so if the strombergs dont work well ill fit the fuel injection to it,,dunno,, early good SUs are had to get,, i dont have anymoney to play with

because my spending amounts on my z are, 'free' or very cheap im gunna fit a pair of rover v8 stromberg carbs to replace my hitachi pollution crap carbs ,my z has a 2.8 f54 with a cam and well ported head,, anyone played with this setup,,just curious,,,been told should be good,,, be few weeks b4 its done,,carbs only cost $35 AUSTRALIAN for the pair,,could b cheap performance?

just posted same story,please anyone who can give me the ratios for australian 240k 4 and 5 speed boxes would be most appreciated,,,zakzed
