http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/cto/1539179230.html Here's the text in case it gets pulled: 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 - $350 (Up your ass) This vehicle is no longer for sale to any VA residents as some of you suck and are the most arrogant/stupid people I have ever encountered. I cannot believe the amount of stupidity I have heard over this ad in the last three days. THIS IS A $350 CAR!!!!!! The ad states clearly, and shows VERY clearly that the car needs work to be put back on the road. Anyone who cannot understand this, need not respond to this ad. The best part is, some fool wanted to buy it for $350 on the condition that I repair it and have it inspected. You sir/ma'am are obviously on crack. If I had done that, the price would be more than $1200. I also stated a price, and said that it was firm. One asshole emailed me a trade for "Hooker super competition 1-3/4" primaries". First of all, what the fuck are they for? and What the fuck would I do with a set of $100 headers. Get lost moron. Email me with another fucking stupid trade again and I'll murder you. Also, to the ass clowns who scheduled time to view the car and never showed, you are all a bunch of fucking idiots. I have a busy schedule as it is and you don't show?Good job dick head. What about the guy who called on Monday, got my address and called on Friday, woke me up early in the morning and said you were 15 minutes away and then never showed up? Fuck you. I dare you to show up, I'll run you over with this fucking car. One more fucking thing, The last fucking sentence in this god damn ad says something to the effect of "If you call or email me to solicit anything other than to buy this car, I cannot guarantee what will happen afterward. I DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING MY CAR!!!!!!!!". Now why on earth would someone send me a reply to help me sell my car? Can you read? Would you like me to help you read? I help with a baseball bat, usually up side your stupid fucking head. I also love how the first person who responded offered me $100. I'll bet you are still waiting my response. Continue to wait, I'll get back to you... Fucking moron. If I wanted $100 for it, I would have said "the price in $100". Your stupid low ball offer is fucked and you are a dip shit. Most people would take that as an offense. Like you are thinking that you are better than, or smarter than said person. You proved to me that you are nothing but god damn numb nut, hillbilly, redneck fucktard. I could part that car for $1000. I could go on and on with this. Get your shit together VA, or at least get your heads out of your asses. You are not royalty, the world does not revolve around you, your shit is not gold, Va is not the best state in the union (in my opinion, it's at the bottom of the list) and finally, you are not smarter than the next guy. To those who had shown legitimate interest, I'm sorry to disappoint you, none of my rant is aimed towards you and thank you for your interest. Once again, I'm sorry. 1999 Escblah blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. blah blah blah 1234 123. 1.2 blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. To be put back on the road it would need the following: 1. No dumb asses calling me with ridiculous trades 2. Header panel 3. No stupid fucking fake "wanna see it" attempts 4. Windshield 5. Parking brake cable 6. Battery 7. Radio Now, for the good. I have replaced a ton of parts on this car about 500 miles before the accident, including; 1. Front rotors 2. Front calipers 3. Front brake pads (with lifetime replacement reciept from NAPA) 4. Front brake hardware 5. Rear brake drums 6. Rear brake wheel cylinders 7. Rear brake shoes 8. Rear brake hardware 9. Shifter bushings 10. Spark plugs 11. Plug wires 12. K&N air filter 13. Brand new Goodyear tires (not even 200 miles on them) 14. New trans fluid, brake fluid and coolant (Mercon V synthetic and brake fluid done less than 300 miles ago) Look at all of that shit, and I had receipts too. The price is $350, firm. No trades..... Call: Jesus fucking christ I hate this place. @ X2X-XX0-4XXX If you call or email me to solicit anything other than to buy this car, I cannot guarantee what will happen afterward. I DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING MY CAR!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Unless you are tracking the car,and twisting the snot out of the motor,a header not only will not help-it will hurt performance.Datsun engineers did a better job designing the manifolds than most think.If you do a before/after dyno test,at teh end of the day,you'll be sitting in a corner all by yourself beating your own skull in :crying: with the factory manifold.

If you are into cars,guns(enjoying your life e.t.c)then Kalifornia is NOT the place for you.

Damn! Mike beat me to it.I'm a lazy bastard.It was just click & paste.HOWEVER,i did tear up the 620 resource site for the motor info and could NOT find it.I know it WAS there.Anmyone know what happened to it?

Nothing wrong with a late 70's Z.All the parts for the FI & emissions are still available.Get a FSM for the car and you'll save yourself $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

It's not the booster.My money is on the MC.

Exactly what part of"Demand dictates price" don't you get?Standard cabs out number KCs about 5 to 1.More units sold = lower price.

Too Intense Restoration.ANd they were between 160 & 180.00. :huh:

Frankenstein motors: Collect all the parts at pick-n-pull JY and buy it as a rebuildable $50 short block Medium block 2.4 Liter Stuff a Z24 crank and pistons into NAPS-Z or L20B block bored to 89mm by cutting down crank counterweights and clearance grinding block as per Ben Pila. This gives you a 2389cc L-series motor that doesnt require using defective (crack prone) Z24 block, fabricating timing cover, lengthening timing chain or modification to close hood. Z24 piston tops will need to be milled down slightly. Fedral-Mogul 33.8mm pin height pistons might not need milling? Compression ratio with Z24 pistons and open chambered head is 10.25:1 before pistons milled. parts: : modified Z22 block, modified Z24 crank, modified Z24 pistons, Z22S/ L20B rods s/2+r+p: 227.7 piston deck height: 0.45 (above deck) Stroker 2.3 Liter Stuff a Z24 crank into a modified Z20/Z22/L20B block by cutting down counterweights as above. No piston modification or block boring needed for 2283cc L series. see http://hobbslaw.nissanpower.com/custom2.html for an example Russ noted that his deck height measured -1.77mm with the Z22E pistons that he first tried using, he eventually used milled Z22S pistons to achieve a higher compression ratio. Parts: Z24 crank, Z22E pistons, Z22S/ L20B rods in a Z22 block or +2mm bored Z20/L20B block. s/2+r+p= 96/2+145.9+32.1= 226.0 mm piston deck height: -1.45mm below deck Big Bore 2.3L KA24 pistons into a bored Z20/Z22/L20B block. The small 2.8cc dish area of the KA24 pistons helps to preserve compression ratio even with the low piston deck height. Compression ratio with a open chambered U67 head is 9.9:1 or use dished Z24 pistons and peanut chambered head for 8.9:1 compression ratio. Parts: Z22 crank, KA24 pistons, Z22S/ L20B rods in a +2mm bored Z22 block or +4mm Z20/L20B block. s/2+r+p= 92/2+145.9+34.0= 225.9 mm piston deck height: -1.55mm below deck Longrod 2.19L/2.24L Start with VG30E pistons and have the tops milled by 2.7mm to produce 29mm pin height. Custom pistons of similar specifications would also be recommended. Using the long Z20E connecting rods gives this engine a better rod/stroke ratio of 1.66:1. (stock Z22 rod/stroke ratio is 1.59:1). Start with +1mm VG30E pistons and bore the block +1mm to 88mm to gain a bit more displacement (2238cc). This engine with custom 89mm pistons is rumored to be the basis for the "rebello 2.3L". parts: Z22 crankshaft, Z22 block, Z20E rods, milled VG30E pistons. s/2+r+p: 227.5mm piston deck height: +0.05mm (above block) Long rod 2.1 L I really like the possibilities for this 2.1L longrod motor. Parts: L20B crank, Z22E pistons, Z20E rods in a Z22block or Z20/L20B block bored +2mm s/2+r+p: 227.9mm piston deck height: +0.05mm (above block) Long rod L18 flattop Z20S pistons and peanut chamber head for 9.7:1 CR, better rod/stroke ratio for higher RPM. Parts: L18 crank, L18 block, L16 rods, Z20S pistons s/2+r+p: 207.66mm piston deck height: -0.29 (below deck) Low compression combinations for use with turbochargers Turbo 2.2L 7.87:1 Compression ratio with 45.2cc open chambered head. Parts: Z22 crank, 2.2E pistons, Z22S/L20B rods in Z22block or Z20/L20B block bored +2mm, s/2+r+p: 224.4 piston deck height: -3.45 (below block) Medium-Long Rod Turbo 2.05L Use 32.1mm piston, 149.5mm rod from late Z22E. These rods are not as sturdy as onther L series rods. Parts: L20B crank, Z2.2e pistons, Z22e rods, Z22 bock or Z20/L20B block bored +2mm over s/2+r+p: 224.1 piston deck height: -2.85 (below block) Short Rod L16 7.8:1 CR using 37cc cylinder head. Lowering compression of a L16 would be easier by just installing a open chambered L20B head and using stock bottom end. parts: L16 crank, L18 rods, L24 (flattop) pistons, L16 block. s/2+r+p: 205.2mm piston deck height: -2.70mm (below deck) Turbo L18 Use deep dished L20B pistons in a otherwize stock L18 for 7.63:1 compression ratio (using open chambered head) or bore +1mm and use dished 280Z pistons for 7.85:1 compression ratio.

Since every 620 on the planet uses the same windscreen gasket and therefore,more will be sold,your comments are not a valid comparison.

I gonna use bed liner on the floor of my KC.SHould be interesting.

MORRIS code?That cat doesn't have thumbs. :huh:

well thx guys for clearing that up oh and i didnt trust what i read on wikipedia Smart guy

My wife knew a guy named "Harry Glasscock"-no joke.

I'm younger than both of you...NEENER,NEENER,NEENER :P

[quote name='HRH' Oh, and then, I was just at Target and I couldn't find a FUCKING PAIR OF JEANS!!! You know why? Because the style now is to drop the new jeans on the ground, rub some dirt on them, rip them, otherwise make them not new, and then repackage and resell as new "pre-worn" jeans! Fuck that! If you want grubby jeans, make 'em yourself! Little fucktard fashion assholes!!! I'm going to have to continue paying up the ass for my Carharts because they're the only ones who make a simple pair of jeans that is comfortable anymore. Okay, I vented, what were we talking about again? :D Check out "Diamond Cut" jeans.

RPM-what vehicle and what usage are you planning?

THis is growing on me S-L-O-W-L-Y.But it's a far site(pun intended)better than the latter version of the old board. And i am an old bastard.Well,not as old as Datzen Mike. :D

I'm gonna see what it takes to get to"2".

I've been up since 1400 yesterday.Screw New Years...i'm crashin'. -_-

The guy wants to keep it OUT of 4th around town.

Is there a way to "lock out" OD?

Met a guy today with a 620 that has a 4-speed auto in it.Now what slush box will bolt up CORRECTLY to a "L" motor?ANd the driveshaft had to be shortened about an inch or so.

[quote name='pharouh' Or the 3 wise men bringing gifts of gold,frankensense,and a Datsun hood. It could work... Keep us posted with more pics! Good luck! You wouldn't find a virgin in a Datsun either. :rofl:

There are the names that i couldn't remember.Fire Departments get to do what they want,where they want.So using them as an example is a no-go.Irwindale & Fontana weren't open in the 80's.
