MM569457

Completed a walk around inspection. Looking to upgrade brakes in front and rear. May just go for a replacement initially, with later upgrade.

Stopped by the old man’s house today to get some pictures and to finalize the to-do list. I have 3K to get this car up and running. Primary focus will be on drive train, engine, and wheels. The engine bay is clear, but sitting in a garage has left its share of dust and dirt. Plan is to use an pressure hose to blow away dirt and grit and to use simple green to clean the engine bay. Goal is to sand and spray paint black.

Yes the gearing is 3.90 for the R200. The stroker is dual SU carbs, bored and tuned.

Greetings, Ive been a Z owner in my own right since 2008 (1992 300ZX N/A) but inherited I inherited a 1971 240Z which needed a lot of work. In 2012 I unfortunately had to sell it to a good friend (ortegadrives on youtube). My father told me when I sold the 240Z that his 1977 280Z was as good as mine. My father has a friend interested in buying my 300ZX, which currently has electrical issues but overall solid car regardless. I purchased a Rebello 3.1 Stroker (actually from Dave Record in 2007 to install in the 240Z, still best purchase of my life). The stock 280Z engine was removed roughly 3 years ago by myself and OrtegaDrives and the engine bay is empty. We have a 5 speed transmission from an 82 280ZX, and a R200 LSD rear end. I have a list of to do items: Remove and clean fuel tank remove rear end/install R200 drop in Rebello w/5 speed transmission new fuel filter/fuel pump New fuel line (possibly) new tires/wheels brake job bushings Other than that, this car hasn't ran since July 1996. Is there anything I may be overlooking that must be checked out? Thanks for any helpful hints or advice! Mike
