max121 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 got my z22e a while back does anyone make a header for it that will fit a 510 i see the one on ebay but its for a truck does anyone know if it will fit? anyone on here ever made there own? it would be fun to make one salvaged the stock a/c compressor off of the l-16 pretty rusty but still turns over, I will tear it down to see if its rebuildable. made by york parts are fairly available and cheap Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Dont use that Z22 head. Get an U67 L head & put on there. Much more Compression & H.P. :cool: Quote Link to comment
ZackTheImpaler Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yes do what doug is saying! L heads + Z heads - L head + Z block = Win Quote Link to comment
brodster Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yup and I have a U67 head for sale. But then you will have to kiss the easy, cheap EFI away. By the way Max, what kind of oil pan do you have on that motor? Is it a front sump, L16, or modded pan? I am in the process of modding mine for my Z20e transplant. 1 Quote Link to comment
clean71 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 max did you sell your old 2dr .... Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Doing a head swap to a u67 would be awesome but ATM I just need to stick with stock because I don't have the cash. But def. Something to do in future As for the oil pan I'm am unsure, the motor came out of a 510 So I never really checked I still have the stock motor if I run into any trouble there The car in the first post I was forced to sell because of space it went up north and went for parts to save 3 other 510's Quote Link to comment

Putting on a L head would be awesome. Always wanted a hot LZ, but if you want EFI on that LZ, then yeah it will be a whole lot of time and money in comparison. Personally I am like you, I don't want to put a L head on the Z20e. Later maybe I will drop something else in. I only ask about the oilpan because I at that point in my swap. If your engine has a front sump, you have to reverse your crossmember. Or you will have to change oilpan. I am doing the latter. Good luck. Quote Link to comment

brodster Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Brodster:Just use your stock pan and pickup. Stock as in L16 pan and pickup? Here is a pic I drew up a few days ago and I have been meaning on posting it up in a new project thread. The pan on the far left is what came off the stock 1980 200sx Z20e. Middle, L16 510 obviously. Right is a Z22 powered 720. Sorry to hi-jack your thread Max, but this MAY be relevant to your swap. Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Np I'm More info for me. As for the pics it looks like I just have the stock oil pan off of the 200sx by the way it sits on the ground Quote Link to comment
