You might want to try POR-15 or a like product. It will seal the surface and is suppose to prevent further rust. Not cheap at around $90.00 a gallon. I have a buddy that used it on a jeep and it seems to work well. Anybody here tried any product like this.

I have a friend that has an engine and 5 speed from a 1983 maxiam. Is this the same 5 speed that is in the 280ZX? He also has the complete rear end. Are any of these parts worth having?

Thanks for the replys. Now that I know what block and head to look for I have some other questions. With an inter cooler, how much boost can a stock motor take and still live a reasonable amount of time. Do you need to put larger valves in this head? If so, what size and kind? Does anyone make pistons for these engines or must one order custom pistons? Who makes the best rods? I would like to try for at least 450Hp. Is this reasonable for this engine and still be able to drive it hard? I like to attend track days or driving schools as some are called. Some street driving also.

I am new to the forum. After reading many articles I am really confused. What I would like to do is put a 280zx turbo engine into a 280Z. I Know the V8 argument. I would loke to know what the best block is(year & model)? Same for the head. I want to build a fast street and track car. I have work on turbo cars before. Want to put bigger turbo on so need best flowing head for application. Does anyone make a good turbo cam for these engines or is stock best. How about crank, rods, pistons. Do they need replaced? Is there a book on the market that explains all of this? Can anyone recommend a shop that would have this information?
