    well.. once i looked at the part where the head bolts go through the towers... i decided to back out. from what i found out, the cam has a bit more duration, but less lift. so torque for horsepower... no thanks there! if i do it, itll have to be aftermarket... no playing around with parts in the garage for me! thanks guys!

    okay... while im in the process of doing my valve guide seals, i was wondering. i heard that the 260Z cam is pretty mild, and there happens to be a whole 260 e88 in my garage. i have an n47 on it now, and i was wondering if i would get any form of gain or performance from putting this cam on my n47 already on the car. someone told me that a mild cam would go good with the setup that i have, so i was just wondering if it was true. thanks!

    well... i need a good econo car, im starting college soon, and i just cant keep up with the Z. well... im really into mk2 or mk3 golf/gti's.. is there anyone in the area who would trade me my Z and all of the extra parts for a mk2 or mk3 golf/gti? i know it sounds kinda dumb... but i honestly cant keep up with her, and i know vw's very well. the problems with my Z are that it needs valve guide seals (the new ones come with the car) and minor rust issues. little under the car, but its fiberglass floors, so it doesnt go through. the other part is a little by the lower rad. support, and a tiiiny hole by the rear hatch. ill throw in all of my spare parts... and at one time used to be a whole 78 Z (all but the body panels). http://www.cardomain.com/ride/783001 recent pics are on the last page. thats her! thanks.
  6. really? the 260 electric pump will be fine?! thats a camel off my back. hehe. i dont know the comp, but until i can get a flattop block, its an n42 with a 74 e88 w/ 72' carbs.
  7. oh.. ill be using the carbs... im just wondering if the 260z electric fuel pump (they came with 2 pumps) will work? if not.. that rx-7 one sounds sweet.

  9. okay. im getting ready to put a full 260z head on my l28. the problem is that the mechanical fuel pump leaks fuel and oil. my question is can i use just the stock electric fuel pump? or do i need anything else. also, do they sell rebuild kits for the mechanical pump?
  10. you are added bro, ill im ya when i see ya on!

    recently my z had a date with 400lbs of lowes fence equippment, and lowes agreeded to pay for damages. so $2089.22 later... minus a radiator, she runs... but looks like more hell. my neighbor has a late 74 260 2+2 with 3 small spots of surface rust, and one 2 inch hole in the pass floor. its got a fresh l26 with an n47 head, dual webbers, air dam, new brakes (rotors, calipers, etc.), new clutch, clutch master+slave cylinders, and no dents!!! he is asking for 1000, and i think im gonna go for it. i wanna drive it while i fix my car, it seems like a good idea. any pros or cons to the setup? is it worth it? any input is cool!
