Crankshaft Wrench Type
I switched to M18 tools for all my work tools a while back. Overall, really nice. The batteries are expensive

Crankshaft Wrench Type
My point was what Zkars said, hose diameter is what matters for air tools, not PSI rating. A small diameter hose doesn't feed a sufficient volume of air for an impact wrench. Sort of like breathing through a straw. 250 Ft/Lbs is probably optimistic. Probably need a better impact. If the engines in the car try Zkars idea

What impact did you already try? What size hose? How much air pressure and volume?

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
I would be careful about adding waxes and grease to polish your raw metal! Some platers get really upset with contaminants on the parts. Also it could affect finished plating. I wouldn't bat an eye at plating any of those parts. I have done some plating in my shop and have found the parts to be nice and shiny if they are prepped to the level you already have.

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
Most platers will acid dip/pickle before plating and some like the plater motorman7 uses also have a blasting process they use ( I believe). You don't really need to get all the zinc off but it can accumulate on threads and things and make tolerances tight. If it's not all gone, new zinc lays right down over the old zinc if it's properly degreased

Highest compression ratio with stock fuel injections
I am still wondering on how you will pass emissions with all these changes?

Oil pan paint
I agree, use a chemical stripper. Then leave it bare. You could phosphate it if you wanted to

Just Another Damned Z Car Project Thread

in-car crank removal
I think I would go back with a hacksaw and maybe a cheap floor jack. Cranks run $1500 and up these days. If you have to, pay a buddy $50 or a case of beer to help

Gas filler recess area
If it was down near Houston or Corpus Cristi, it rusted from the salt water breezes. Not all of Texas produces low rust cars

Gas filler recess area
The only Zs that tend to be rotten in the filler neck area are either badly rusted or salt road cars. I would assume when finished repairing the car, salt exposure will be limited or non existent. So I think the drain is unneeded. Also if you made a drain it is likely to rot from salt too. So it probably won't stop the issue

Highest compression ratio with stock fuel injections
I don't believe the ECU will handle a stage 3 cam. I am not sure it will even handle a stage 2 cam. The EFI is very basic and doesn't handle any but the most mild changes. Increased compression normally needs increased fuel and the stock system would be able to provide it.
