Default Datsun 260z, Chevy V8Z project thread.



_________________________________________________

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
