Trust me you cant say too many things that I havent already thought about, he is living with his mother now, and also the reason we split. Dad was too hard on him being retired military and all, mom gives him what ever he wants! Plays her like a FLUTE! Think the motor also has a mallory unilite led type distrib on it! Got to sit downa nd drink a beer with the guy and see what we can come up with!

Bear with me a minute! It was bound to happen, While I was out of state for awhile my 16 yr son snagged my 77 280Z AT LEAST twice! Now clutch is burnt!, 2nd gear synco grinding abit, bearing noise (tranny I think) And now smoking abit AARRRGGGHHH! prob has alot of miles anyway, speed o reads 65000 who knows. Anyway got a Zclub buddy that has a 2600 with 3 webber setup and 5 speed attached with about 40000 miles on it. all I really know is that it has an E88 with beefed up cam (Square Ports, headers included, COMPLETE motor ) he pulled it 2 years ago to go with a pro built LT1). Good guy , Trusted. wants to get it out of garage so it will be for a song! What should i axpect if I swap ! power from carbs versa FI do I need to swap Computer or anything else will my wiring harness have everthing need to run this engine ECT ECT!! Any opinions!!!

Fly wheel removal
if you have access to an impact wrench there should be no need to do anything, they will break loose with out spinning the flywheel!

Clutch/tranny issue???
thanks guys, good inexpensive starting point!

Clutch/tranny issue???
noticed this more when car is cold (before first drive). 77 280,5 speed, mostly stock that I know of. worst when temp is COLD outside, you can push in the clutch, start the car, put tranny in nuetral and let out the clutch and 2 things happen. #1 as you let out the clutch the engine rpms will drop 200 or 300 rpms like there is a load on engine and #2 if you dont have the brake on the car will actual try to creep forward with the clutch disengaged and the tranny in nuetral. I do think that the tranny was filled or at tleast ALOT of LUCAS GEAR OIL used in it not positive thou! Any Speculations????

Strut assembly ?
hopefully installing my new tokico hp's and springs (1") this weekend in my 77, if the idiot paint dude gets done screwing around. Made him repaint the front clip for the 5th time.

Strut assembly ?
If I remember correct, there IS abig diff between the KYB and the Tokico's. The KYB are for the stock springs and the tokicos are for "LOWERED" springs. You could have lowered springs all around, but hope they didnt modify the tubes!
