Considering how hard it's getting to find one for a decent price thats not rusted to crap, I'd say you found a REALLY good deal.

i was thinking of that but with the hood that I want to design for it it won't fit. I was going to keep it original except put on tripples, but it won't fit under the hood... i'm going to go with a lt1 or a csb with a electric fan so i can graft one of these hoods on it...
My new Z....-shelby-hood.jpg

and the msa type 3 body kit to fit it... the paint will be a chrome black from alsacorp and a dark red chrome or blue chrome stripe down the center... I might even try to do a tail light panel like the series one.. and of course the interior will match the paint job... any one think that is a reasonable project?? of course i will be selling my 79 to finance it... i can ride my bicycle to work or get my motorcycle liscence...

Hmm, I was wondering if I could convert my ZX non-turbo into a turbo ZX. I guess you can.

I shall add that my list of projects!

yeah for a s130 deff go turbo... another reason i want a CSB instead of a trubo is that i want to go carb not injection... and i heard that a carberated turbos are hard to keep in tune...
