id definetly like to see some pics of what your talking about. hehe if i can get fiber glass parts to replace my steel ones im interested too

if you were going to use the dell orto 40mm carbs on your engine. if you keep the current 2.4 block i would at least bore the block .20 over, for the head if you have the E31 head. 44.. intake 35 mm exhuast, complete valve job, port polish, i had the 480 lift 274 duration cam, it worked well but if i were you and your looking for power, id go wiht and i should have gone with the 460 lift 270/280 duration cam. replace the 4 speed with a 5 speed, and at lest a 3.90 rear. 6 into 1 headers are great for torque. at the lower end. if your going to do the head you might as well do the block or go with a 2.8 block your choice. upgrade your ignition system. and so on. just if you want the power from such a engine combo remember your gas is not going far. thats why im selling my stuff to go turbo. i look with my built E88 head and a F54 2.8 block id be just at 10;1, i was going to use my dell ortos but the cost would be more them im willing to go when i can easily get more boost. good luck with whatever you decide james

just let me know and ill set it all aside

they can have mine then and ill go buy me a better one then this one and spend a week in cali doing it hehehehe why not right

go here and see the skyline they built with turbos as big as my head!! see the supra doing 194 mph down the M1 in the uk, watch the silva hit 200 in a tunnel just go to the link hit movies and the enjoy james http://www.exvitermini.com

rice o roni is not everyones treat

make offer on the tank and i have a set of tripple dell ortos 40mm that are easier then webers on the adjustments and the mileage. the tripples are 400 obo. or ill do this if you give me 400 ill just give you the tank with the carbs james

or maybe just one. you said you adjusted the carbs. backfires are from running to rich. lean out the carbs a little and make sure there balanced. also you might want to look into some new plugs james

i can see that your thinking entirely to much on this subject. point is if you want more traction wider is better. but not for the fact of wet weather handling.

if you want to sell those boyds i would be happy to take them off your hands:D really i would please

i had my 72 somewhat modified and well enogh to hold its own up to just above 120. the car still felt ok but i could feel the begining of the wash out on the front end. it was starting to get really light and control was starting to leave my hands.

but they are god awful ugly cars. its just a sin to do that to a Z. i will say on the other hand i have seen a few. and i mean a few that do look good though. it all depends on what you do to them i suppose.

i was thinking of what you said grantman and it is true you can have one helluva beast. but the problem with that is gas mileage can you afford to drive it. thats what made me decide to go turbo. ill have efi reliability, turbo power, and great gas mileage. for more power just turn up the boost. i was thinking of using the same turbo motor im buying, going to flat tops with my E88 head with bigger valves, port polish and tripple dell orto 40mm carbs. i would have been running 10:1 and had quite a sweet ride. the only problem is the gas mileage. sure you would get good mileage for normal driving, but as soon as you open those six barrels watch the gas goo.. that is something i would miss. i love the intake sound tripples make, but by the same token i love the whuuurrr of the turbo. james

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! i like it i like it a lot

depending on what year you have you can get more. my 72 ran like a bat outta hell with a .40 overbore, e88 head with bigger vavles, 480 lift 292 duration cam, and headers with exhaust and a 5 speed. i cant imagine what it would have done with a greater rear underneath it

that car looks soooooooooo schweeeeeet!!!!:eek:

you are the man:rolleyes:

but why pay that kind of money if your gonna just stay stock!! i dont see it just rebuild the su's that you already have. and use them. there great carbs. now if you were going for a performance engine id say save a lil more money and go with some webers or better yet dell ortos. just my .02

there is no alignment for the rear wheels.. unless you get camber adjustments for the car. you can help out the caster problem but tightening your tensiong control rod. this will bring it in some but not a lot if it is really off. remember when doing this it will also toe your car inward on itself. all that the Z car has is toe adjustments. thats it. now your ruff road problem i would say is contributed to the bump stops and your caster being out of adjustment.

i do know here in my state in the usa that if they are called to an accident by the police, the charge is a flat rate of 150 dollars, plus hook up!!! tell me thats not rediculous
