UPDATE ON PAGE 2 with pics and specs!!!


finally picked up my new project, a bit different

1971 240z

Straight body, no rust.





I also just picked up an lt1 motor and its got a head package and cam on it, long tube headers, pulleys, etc...a nice healthy lt1

Still contemplating trannys, its got a auto on the engine now, but i really want a 5 or 6 speed

I was thinking of the tremec tko500 since it handles 500ft.lb



I am currently working on the suspension, taking it all apart, will sandblast it all, do all new bushings, new front and rear control arms and koni shocks, its already got springs on it.

Also have a pair of sparco 1 piece seats that im making brackets for, as well as sparco steering wheel.

My next part will be brakes and wheels. There is a nice front brake kit using 12.2" rotors 1.25 thick with a willwood 4 piston caliper available for htese cars for $750, a good deal i think

Any suggestion on wheels? I wil most likely get fender flares

THe car currently actually has a 327 sbc in it but its stock and has rod knock, but at least the car is setup for a chevy small block already.
