This was the original plan, but when it lives in your parents garage, I really have no choice here. Plus finding Z parts here is like finding a hedgehog in a field of cacti. Painful and difficult.

So after a night of hard drinking, next to no sleep, and 8 pieces of bacon later, I'm heading to Kev's house(s30kid) to drive to phoenix and sell these rims, so that I can get a heart transplant for my darling dearest.

Whoo-hoo!

IT. IS. ALIVE.

Picking up a new motor tomorrow, for the win. 100 bucks and it's literally a plug and play :thumbup:

Getting some toggle switchs for the lights and new tires, all within the next month or so, and then a paint job so she can look pretty! :w00t:

She lives!

Picked up a 77 L28e N42 block sitting with an N47 head on it! It was gonna be scrapped(WHY?!!?!) so i nabbed it for a tastey 100 bucks.

 

 

 

 

s30kid sittin pretty with my motor. It took me, him, and two other guys to lift it out of the truck and the 4 feet into the storage shed where it sits for now :sneaky:

 

Being a motor about to be scrapped, I figured it needed a few things, such as gaskets and a re-ring, no matter the shape of the rings or the bore, so I picked up these lovelys

 

 

Tomorrow I strip everything off my old seized motor, Saturday I'm workin with s30kid to get him up and running as well as tearing down the new motor, and then on Sunday, I'm hopefully pullin the block outta my car and dropping the new one in!! :thumbup:

I GET TO DRIVE MY Z AGAIN, I'M SO HAPPY :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hairy:

_{well done on the build and damn well done on not selling and finding a way to make her run. i know i'm a few months behind on the question, but if you havent started on taking the dash out yet...have fun :rofl:. a buddy of mine decided to take his off a while back, about 30 man hours and well over 100 connection pieces taken out later....he finished. and never put it back in cause he didnt wanna have to deal with it ever again :sick: . i got started pulling the one off my parts car and got about 45 minutes and like 10 screws into it, and realized i needed to get a lotta blaster, and better tools before i even dreamed about trying it again. most of them havent been taken off so the screws and shit are rusted in and dont wanna come out at all, and its no fun to snap em off in there.}

hahaha thanks! The only thing left on the new motor is swaping over all the timing chain stuff and re-gasketing the whole damn thing!

It's almost done though, hope fully motor in and running by the 15th, and the eletrical fixed by the 20th for a Mt. Lemmon run!

Should be great fun!
