Here's some footage of my Z the last time it was running, right before the motor was sold.This was a high compression build from an MN47 cylinder head on top of a 2.8 Flattop Block. The 12lb. Fidanza flywheel was responsible for the quick revs on this thing.
It has been about one year since this car was last running, Just been sitting in the garage collecting dust while I put together a turbo build, but this is where the Z came from day one.
I got the car on October 30th of 2008. This was a rolling shell less the engine and wiring.
You can see how bare this thing was and how much work was needed.
This actually came with the car, but it was obviously shot. The 4-speed on the other-hand was still in good shape.
And of course I had to drop in a real motor. Since my first day working on the car, I had no prior knowledge to working on cars in general. However I was found by the Martello brothers at the local junkyard wrenching inside an engine bay "attempting" to pull out a donor motor. They taught me everything I know and taught me to keep learning. If there is anyone that needs anything done to their car the right way in San Diego just let me know and I'll hook you up with them.
Of course the garden divider lip was necessary.
These are some of the first stages of my 240Z's build-up. This car has gone through many changes throughout my ownership and I'll be sure to keep you all posted!
Thanks for reading. I'll be updating this weekly with all the projects I've done on the Z and it's current state, so stay tuned.
