She’s a lot better than she looks!

It has a 2.4 I’ll swap for mild 200 hpish 2800
It has a 5 speed
I’ll put in street cage(no sidebars)
Needs coil overs
Will use Datsun pick up 4w disc brakes
Electric fuel pump.
15 in wheels to fit brakes
Wheel flares (bolt on)
Full media blast strip, sheet metal and paint
Kirky seats and 5 pt harness
Quaife
Front sway bar
Remote oil filter
Gated oil pan
3 two barrel Webbers like this

That’s the rough plan for now.

I haven't played with Webers for decades.

Once set-up. They are sweet. But getting there can be a PITA sometimes.

You will need one of these to help balance them. I had a couple of them a while back.

Rusty · 02-05-2019, 05:53 PM

Have one of these now.

SurfDog · 02-05-2019, 06:41 PM

I’ll have help setting them up. I am not at all up to speed on carbs.

...but I will be!

I had a '71 with a stroked 280z motor (3.0 liter) and triple 44 mikuni's. They were fairly easy to set up. Why did I ever get rid of that car?

Nice find, enjoy the build.

Snow slowed progress getting her home but we made it.

I’m starting my own little Z nation out there in the shop!

This is awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with this '71! Which color do you think you'll pick?

God-Speed · 02-08-2019, 10:31 AM

This is going to be FUN!!!

It’s my boys car. He likes grey with light grey race stripe.
I grabbed *another* one of these. (Had one 30 years ago to use on my 77 280!
