Cruzilla Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Wow looking good man I understand how you feel..I was about to drive my truck off a fuckin cliff before sick620 got a hold of me and we went to town on it.I just finished rewiring it and it was a big ass job new brake cylinders,brakes,new brake lines,electronic fuel pump,all sorts of shit but and tons of beers to go along with it. I just finished the rewiring and the only thing left is the tail lights but I'll tackle that pretty quick.And my wife thought the same of my truck and never wanted to ride in it anywhere.Anyway keep on guzzling those Mickeys and it will all come together.Now it's on to get it painted soon but I need Tail gate I don't wana grind the bondo off of it because it's cracked to hell so anyone got a tail gate for my 1967 520?

blackdeth666 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 MAJOR UPDATE! I got my clutch issue resolved, installed my new heavier coil springs, mounted the gas tank, threw in some new NGK's and she fired right up!!! I couldn't get it off the jack stands fast enough. Took her on the maiden voyage last night! Its a straight fuckin' go-kart! so much excitement. Old spring and new spring gas tank mounts how she sits as of right now! New longer throwout bearing collar (left) that solved my clutch issues I'll get more updates soon but I just had to let everyone know the good news. 1 Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 next is body work and paint Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Well I've been beating her around and still doin work. I got a full exhaust done 2" with a thrush glasspack, its tucked up above both crossmembers for extra ground clearance. Looks/sounds awesome! The airshocks work wonders! put 130 psi in them and hauled some shit! The proof.... Thats not all. In order to have less shit sticking up above the hood, I got these babies. Now I have an almost new weber for sale. PM if you are interested. They need to be dialed in but holy smokes what a power gain!!! Can spin tire in 2nd now! lol and I may have eh em... welded eh em... the rear end. EM! for extra driving excitement... The SU's are not totally going to be tucked under the hood but much better than the weber. Since I put the SU's on, I realized that I needed a header now... thanks to spudly13, who promply dropped this off today after I sent him an E-mail last night. I should have waited to get exhaust but I didn't know I was doing a header 2 weeks ago.. oh well. Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 What are you doing for a hood,are you making a cowl hood now that truck is looking good. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 What are you doing for a hood,are you making a cowl hood now that truck is looking good. kinda curious about that too, maybe mod the hood adding the 240z hood buldge. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Looks fantastic :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 A friend of mine actually suggested using a 240z hood, but I'm not sure it bumps up enough. He actually has a spare hood, so we will see what happens :w00t: Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/datspup.html http://www.up22.com/ranger.htm I didn know a 240 z hood will work? Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 there is a guy on the realm that modded a 510 hood by adding the 240z bulge and it looked pretty good, so considering the simularities between the 510 and 521. besides I think a cowl induction hood would look like crap after all the great work that went into this truck so far.

skyblue Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 noice! ethel's hood looks pretty good. stock with raised center section. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 or graft a roadster hood scoop on like what wayno did for his NL320 Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Did a little cutting out in the lab last night........ There is much less sticking up than I thought I plan on putting a bump/hump to cover it but now I know exactly how big it needs to be. I was wondering if a 720 rear diff is wider drum to drum than a 521 rear diff? Reason being I want better gears. I would rather swap the entire rear end if possible. Quote Link to comment
blackdeth666 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 or graft a roadster hood scoop on like what wayno did for his NL320 I'm trying to be different! Thats a fundimental. ok except for the yellow highbeams..... lol Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 dont swap the whole rear end... you crazy... just get a center chunk with better gears and install it in your truck.. look for 720s at the yards... look inside the engine bay and look for the tag on the inner passenger fender by the firewall.. its got the gearing of the rear stamped on it... he37 = 3.7, he41 = 4.1 etc. i think mike can clarify more if needed :lol: Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 different is good. when was the last time you saw a 521 with a roadster hood scoop? :P narrowing up a toyota lsd rear end might be somthing to look at Quote Link to comment
