Silvester Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 New cam from the swap meet this weekend. Looks like I started collecting the parts to build my motor! Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Somehow that looks to AGGESSIVE in the opening ramp deptment! I think I would pick a different cam Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 480 lift 262 duration Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 well those are OK numbers to me be nice if the cam had the center lobes to put a wrench on there but I heard Delong was good cams back then\key is getting the right lash pads and getting the retainers. if this is a new core most times a 160 will be close. if a regrind I find its about 180 190 or a 200 lash pad Rockauto has the Jap made rockers for sale for 7$ apc. I would get those as thats a great deal they must be clearing them out as most times I see them for 26$ apc or more Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thanks for the heads-up Hainz. Ill be picking up a Z22 block I found in the junkyard last weekend. Hope its still there! I also picked up "how to build your L-Series motor" at the swap meet. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 at 7$ apc I would get 2 sets Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I dont see the listings for the RockerArms anymore on Rockauto Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Darn. I looked yesterday and noticed they were all gone! Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Picked up this beautiful Z22e block this weekend off of a 200sx coupe. The motor was pulled in 2 hours with some help. Coolant was top notch and mileage was 200,000 leaving a perfect motor. The crosshatching in cylinder walls was still very visible too. We determined the cause of junking to a worn clutch.

Silvester Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Also picked up this Ceramic Coated exhaust manifold Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nice truck from the high desert. Going LZ22 I suppose? That'll be peppy! Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I like the manifold all ceramic coated up. Out soem anti seize on those bolts All my spare stock manifold I sold or gave away always had one broke stud. Quote Link to comment
PtheDude Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Don't shave the hooks! Sure you'll loose a belt loop or 2 at some point, but the hooks have got to stay! 3 Quote Link to comment

Silvester Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Update! Finally got a chance to remove my motor and tranny. I plan on putting together the Z22 with the closed chamber head and seeing what happens. The car is already smogged and registered which is good! I also managed to paint my wheels and high beams.

Bagged620bulletside Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 That truck is hella clean man! Can't wait to see more progress. Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Another update to the parts collection. One of the carbs looks to be naked on the inside Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 B honest looks like you got fucked on the jetts missing you get insolators also between the carb and manifold. GGZilla doesnt run them I notice(I think) wheels look good if you didint know already I hate those manifold as its EZer to have the 1 pc ones to put on as when taking or chainging gaskets and stuff it stays all together and you dont have to readjust the linkage. man thats a straightt truck!

Silvester Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I payed $575 for the whole set: Intake manifold, linkage, carbs and air horns. I'm sure rebello will have the parts i'm missing... Still think its a bad deal? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well I would have low balled him good if I know they were no jets and the manifolds he could have thrown in free. As I have a set of those also and wouldnt charge more than 50 for the split manifolds or give them away. key is to make sure the threads are not stripped. so maybe swap the jets to ck that out. Unforetunatly you have to ck these out as the pop metal can crack also if overtighten(happen to me) I have a dual set of itailian solexs and they need work(one is tite and dont fully return) but I dont think I would fell good getting more than 125 for them Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Bummer. Well hopefully i get lucky and everything is in working order. Quote Link to comment
