E31 Head ?s
You definetly want to get the head checked out for straightness Stock width from top (Valve cover) to bottom is 108mm any less and its been milled. The last head I pulled off would have had to have 0.025 shaved off to fix. It had the banana factor. Also get cam specs checked. What's the cam profile? CT

Sand Blast Booth 1
And I felt guilty painting my car in my driveway. My neighbour never did notice the orange overspray on his minivan.

ZX hood vent in 240z hood
Thanks, I had to put a baseboard heater in my garage. Nothin worse than mashing cold knuckles. But its no where near as cold as MN. I just roll it out when the sun decides to come out once a month.

Approach for docking
It was made by a company in California that was making them for Nissan Motorsports. It's the stock pan modified. Really nice welding. I believe Nissan Motorsports is ising a different type now. Cheers.

I smell burnt hair
I just uploaded photo of rear hook attachment point. As you will see there isn't much original metal, just 1" square tube. The Fuel Cell is 15 Gallon.

Thanks, The wife? Well I guess I'll have to make the white & orange one street legal. It has room for two seats. No heat, no radio, noisy, exhaust fumes & sore kidneys. Then she'll know what I'm talkin about :-)

Pistons stick out
Thanks for the input. Sounds like you know your stuff. I just talked to my local Z specialist and it looks like this configuration won't work. To little clearence. To high compression. I'm going to put the E 31 aside for a serious race setup down the road or sell it on ebay. I have a stock N 42 that I'll give a mild work over. I just want this engine for my 3 novice races I have to do this season. I have a second engine.I call it the (Hand grenade) engine it's ready to go for GT 2. -14.1 compression-. There's pics of it in my gallery in the white & orange 240. The white and orange one was actually a Grassroots project car around 10 years ago. It was whit and blue then. This car is all metal no rust and came second in class Molson Indy Vancouver 2000. It will probably be for sale this year with engine I'm building right now. This car was used for GT 2 but should be configured back to ITE. Thanks for the help. Chris

Pistons stick out
Hi, Hope someone has the answer, I just finished having L 28 block redone. Aftermarket pistons installed but they stick out twenty thou. I have a fully enhanced E31 head all the jewellery. The head has had minor milling twice. According to the machinist the head width is 4.235. Will this work or do I have to flycut the pistons. Thanks, Brain itch
