_________________________________________________ I finally picked up the motor and put it on the stand... its been on the floor for probably 10 years. the pan has never came off it. It still spins over great... i can push the motor around with my hand on a piston. I degreesed it a little and pulled the pan. looks pretty good inside for a 200+ motor. gunna leave it alone. 4 bolt mains 8) https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z11.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z12.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z13.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z14.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z15.jpg https://www.homemadeturbo.com/jbliss/260z/260z16.jpg |

Re: Datsun 260z, Chevy V8Z project thread.
How are you going to do the drive shaft to the rear?
Can the stock rears handle it? |

Can the stock rears handle it? the general thought is the rear end can handle a stock/mild small block if you dont romp too hard on it esp with sticky tires. the 280 rear ends are supposed to be stronger, especially the 280 turbo models. |

I think Stealthmode will have his car done first and his ETA is 2,480years after the 6th world war and the alien invasion :P

just like my mustang would never get the turbos :-* this thing with a stock truck 350 will probably murder my mustang @ 6lbs although i put a older ducati to shame today on the highway... he gunned it pass me and i changed lanes behind him and had to let off or else run his ass over... right when i hit full boost he turned around on the bike and was liek WTF?!?! and when the bov went off he flipped me the bird lo! |

Turboing a 5.0 is about as hard as turboing a D-series; flip the headers, open downpipes and done. :P I'm not saying it'll never get done, I'm just saying you got alot of work. Start wrenching ;) |

Start wrenching ;) you can use mounts off a lot of cars... its pretty cool. gotta buy a T5 or some other trans. whatever i find cheapest first. manual thou. im pretty sure the heads need new valve guides... but i'll probably put them on if it uses a little oil o well :-p |
