I love a high hp Z, even though a iron block of anything bigger than the original motor isn't my cup of tea. post up some pics and welcome

Hi, Dunlop, and welcome to "One Who Is New to the Z" from a couple
who are about "As Old to the Z As They Get!"

Please forgive a comment from a real traditionalist: I'm sure glad you
chose a 280Z platform to do your SBC/T56 conversion instead of a 1969
to 1974 (240 and 260Z)!

All Z Best,...........................Kathy & Rick

Yea thats true because of the ease and stouter rear-end.


I really wanted to keep everything stock on it, but wasn't in the cards. Sp far it has a 6 point cage, and bride racing seats. Other then the engine thats pretty much it.-------nothing else. I built the car for autocross and my new DD.


Thanks again guys
