INTRO...New ol' Z from Perth

[260z22]

Hi to all,

Just dropped by to intoduce myself.

I've got a Bronze '75 260z 2+2 that's been parked in my garage since Dec 94,

where it was delivered "new" completely panelled & resprayed ( I think the paint's settled?). I'm planning ahead and hoping to gather info/input from you guys before I start the Z as I have another project to finish first. Some of you are gonna cringe but I'm dropping a 351 into it for "sentimental reasons" and hope to licence it for the road; also circuit days and hill climbs. I will post pics soon "somewhere" so bare with me please as this is my very first :-\ journey into forums.

Hope y'all can help.

Cheers

Just dropping off some pics of how she is now.

This was actually the first Z registered in WA that came with alloy mags.

cheers.

Hi there 260z22

I've just sent you a pm about some parts for your conversion you might be interested in.

Welcome to the forums and can't wait till your finished with the conversion! If I wasn't so poor I would like to try one more engine conversion with an 8... But that might have to wait a while...Also, what sort of inlet manifold is that on your L6 engine? Looks like only a twin Weber setup..Never seen one before. Let me know if you want to part with it..hehehe

Here is a writeup on a 289 conversion, don't know if it will be any use for you or not.
