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. -

Will you be running fender liners in the front?

I bought a set from northern tool. They have worked really well

The only nice thing about the NLA listings is sometimes the part number is there with an image to help scour other possible sources. Although the NLA listings seem to keep growing

I always wanted a pantera. Almost bought one for 26k about 10 years ago. Would have been a good investment. Really cant afford one now

I agree, TonyD was very knowledgeable with lots of experience but could be very harsh and grating
-
Polite would be a welcome change! I quit going there years ago because of the vitriol

Straight vinegar? Great

That works good! What is the recipe?

I did a lot of looking and couldn't find anything M27x1.0 $60 seams really cheap to me when you look at the time it takes, the material and the fact that an M27x1.0 tap starts at about $50 up to $150 I found a piece of 1 1/2" steel hex stock 12" long that would cost about $50 to my door. Could only get 8 nuts or so out of that. You couldn't get me to machine one for $60 Not trying to be argumentative but these one off parts are really expensive to make.

It's been a long time since I've been up that way. Beautiful area but not close to anything Blown budget or not, I probably wouldn't pursue this path. It's pretty cheap to have a block machined. The piston rings are a wash either way but you would need new pistons. You need new bearings any way, so it doesn't add a lot of cost to just go ahead and redo the lower end right. If you try to do what you are suggesting you will end up paying twice to do basically the same work

I'm surprised the ZX didn't go higher. It was a nice car

I agree, it looks like a mis-stamped "1"

I think it is always a good idea to post up resources for the community. That way we can support those vendors that help keep these cars on the road.

This yard has a lot of really old cars. All kinds. I get a better price pulling parts. The ZX tranny I'm redoing came from there. He also had an L20b I was gonna get but pulling it would have been a pain!
-
Also, I believe it needs to be in neutral
-
This yard near me wants 2-300 and I would have to pull it.
-
What did you have to give for a maxima head? I have one local but I think he wants too much
-
5$ a month would probably do it. I don't ever see any of these ads... The price of an overpriced coffee, maybe less!
-
Who did you send it to and where exactly?
