excellent find

[ricksaia]

Hello everyone. So the other day, I do my weekly search at the junkyards here in San Diego, and what did I find but a p90 head, turbo oil pump, perfect seats to a 1970 240 and an intake manifold to a 260z. I find out that Saturday (today) is half price day at the junkyard. I hide all the parts and came back this morning. My total was $56.00 plus tax. It just does not get better than that. I just had to share my good fortune. Rick.

P90 head for under a C note?-good job! Yeah, I pulled an E31 head with a comp cam off last week and accidently left it in the trunk of a Volvo under a ton debris (). I bought it for half price yesterday as well.---Jerry

Yeah, I hit the three 'Ecologys' near me. Fontana, Rialto, Sante Fe Springs. Go a lot of miscellaneous stuff (also mysteriously hidden a couple days ago) and spent a total of about 60 bucks. Mainly hard to find 810 stuff (opera window frames, relays, trim, etc.) and some Z stuff too.

The p90 head has 85k on it and is in great condition. The 260 intake is a little beat up, but with some cleaning and some machine work, they will be beautiful. The junkyard was Ecology in Chula Vista. Most of the Z's were 280z and ZX's. They did have a 260 and one 1972 240. The Z yard in San Diego went out of business and I think Ecology received everything. I was there all day Thursday and Friday pulling stuff out. I think a lot of other people had the same idea. I saw a lot of misc parts in trunks and back seats. It was a great two days of fun.

there is "all Z auto wrecking" ... i saw it in the yellow pages when i was trying to find a place to take my 280zx...

He is the guy that sold his business. No more Z stuff, I went there on Friday and everything was gone. Oh well. Rick.
