Sorry, I know I have been slacking. I do still want it, just been crazy prepping for the baby shower my wife has this weekend. Hopefully after this weekend it will slow down.

Progress has slowed down due to our new addition:

Well worth it in my opinion :)

How do you intend to ensure the drive lines up with that new engine? Even a small degree off will cause major problems ~ vibrations and flying universal joints. I never did ask Clive how he aligned Evil Z's V8.

I am putting my trust in the good people at jags that run with the engine mounting kit and their engineering.

Updates:

I got my surge tank and high pressure fuel pump from USRT today :)

Picking up a 72 240Z parts car (sans engine/trans) in PA that comes with a full black interior (that I needed), BRE rear spoiler, brakes, wiring, fender flares, etc. This car will help me almost complete my car!!

If you guys need any parts let me know. Also if anyone is taking a trip to PA and would consider trailering it back for me that would be awesome too.

Parts called for:

full interior
front brakes
bumpers (if ok)
all wiring
rear spoiler
misc nuts and bolts for rear and front lights/fenders, etc.
fender flares (I might use them, not sure yet)
tail lights (if they are in better shape than what I currently have)

VG flare for a spare. (and did you needcenter consol?) If chassis is shot and scrappin, why not just take a truck, take all the parts off you need there, and take chassis to local scrap yard in P.A. just a thought.

I can do that yes, but it would be much easier bringing it back and having the cars side by side to move parts over. Yes I need the complete interior including the console. I havent decided on the flares.
