Getting very anxious!
Here's my baby girl in my buddy's driveway getting prepped for pre-op:
Going to be a very rare car, one of the few 2+2 N/A 300zx that have undergone the twin turbo conversion!!
Not going TOO crazy just yet with turbos and whatnot. The stock turbos and motor are being swapped in, and will be that way for a little bit until the rest of the drivetrain has been fortified for some real boost.
A 5 speed 2+2 TT! WOOT
I know you love the car... But 2+2 turbos aren't that rare! I've had my hand in 2 of them and also he superior swap, LSx power. Carry on.
: P
Car looks good though .
Well I thought about that yesterday when Lebron was seen sitting on the sidelines with the Spurs up 20. On one side: it doesn't really matter, the Spurs are dominating and even with Lebrons high level of energy and scoring out there they are still losing by a wide margin. And on the other side: You think what the hell is Spolstra doing? Does game 6 of last year not come to mind? And yea when I saw Lebron on the sideline the FIRST thing that came to mind to me was "Hahaha NO WAY Michael Jordan would be sitting right now!" If that was MJ out there against the Spurs he would have pushed for 50 points and cut the margin down to at least 10 points even with a crummy effort from his teammates.
But you honestly can't blame Lebron for this one...I mean he was ineffective in a lot of ways yesterday but he got 0 help from Wade and Bosh or anyone else. Lebron is not MJ he needs help and no one gave it to him, he looked really good out of the gate...but of course a 20 some point deficit will make any superstar dumbfounded out there. Lebron could have played better but it was over early yesterday, Lebron wasn't changing anything.
And as to your comments on Lebron Vs KD, (and this is coming from a non Heat non Lebron fan)...Lebron is better than KD. Lebron is not a pure scorer like KD is but offers way more than KD does. Lebron passes better, rebounds better and defends better and can score just as much as KD on any given night. KD is a better scorer, but Lebron is the better player.
I hear you on the KD VS LJ... I still don't think the margin is that great though. KD is a hell of a player and a good bit less experience than James. I'd give the nod to Lebron but not by a whole lot. KD does most things well too
could you EVER imagine MJ being taken out of a Finals game, conceding? LOL. NO WAY.
There's being a competitor, and then there's guys like MJ, Tiger, Peyton, Ray Lewis... Etc. L.James is NOT that guy.
And I'm not sure L.JAMES is better than KD .. At least not by much.
yous do realise he raised over 2mil dollars for charity from the whole "the decision" thing? Or do you just over look that?
Who gives a flying Waste products? 2 million dollars ? That's chump change for LJ.. Still a lot of money, but let's be real... That's a weak excuse... He ruined his image, he came off like a giant DB.. He effectively allowed his image to get pooped on for an amount of cash, to a charity that is pretty insignificant to him. His PR people should have perished for that stunt.
Spol is a puppet...
Love seeing the Heat get L's... Let's hope it continues. : )
I've always had good luck with cal-tracs. Sounds like the pinion angle needs dialed in. Do you have s-frame connectors on the car?
The 421 was a in c4 vette. : ) yea, I dyno'd it a few times ... 568rwhp @6600 510ftlbs @4500. This was a fuel injected motor with 227 heads. Let's just say it was fun, especially with independent rear suspenion and a ZF-6spd . Only way to do a proper 421 in a streetcar , IMO.. Is to use an aftermarket block. I had a Little M.
Numbers to the crank, hydraulic .510 intake .520 exhaust, 2.02 1.60 valves 64cc, 10.4:1 (93 octane pump)
@1/28/01.........I have some images of the car I loaded to my computer from my digital camera, but to post a photo the website is calling for a URL number, but I have no idea what that is. What is a URL number and how do I get it from a picture I loaded from my camera to my computer to post a picture?
Thats a nice streetable build right there. The cam, on the surface isnt big but I bet its got somepretty good duration. Any idea on the LSA? Guessing 108?
I built a 421 SBC a few years back that was an animal, gotta love strokers!
My 1971 Nova has the new engine:
396 Small Block Chevy (350 block with Scat 3.85 crank)
Mahle Forged Pistons
Howards Roller Cam
Aluminum 195 heads
Holley 300-36 manifold and Edelbrock 800 CFM Thunder Series carb
Dynoed at 494 horsepower and 521 torque
9 inch Ford rear has 3.70 gears
350 Turbo with Hughes convertor and B&M kit
I did my first Cruisin OC in May and I just won a Top 25 trophy at a car show last Saturday, for which I was very honored.
What size valves in the 195 heads? Surprised to know they have enough to make that power. That should make a responsive combo. also, solid roller or hydr? Race fuel or pump? Those dyno results rated at the crank or the wheels? I'm assuming at the crank.
I think the Eagles should give us a later round draft pick for Tyrod ... I think he'd run a Chip Kelly offense very nicely, at least it would be fun to see.
Thats it... the Eagles should... its been decided.
Tyrod isnt good /discussion.
Motörhead radio on Pandora.
Damn, I thought for sure I had Ed_Reed20 and 1/28/01 beat
In my defense, I estimate that I lost 3500 posts due to the mods deleting them
If we're playing that way.... pssshhhh they'd need another server for all of my posts.. ![]()
Andre Johnson , in a second... Torrey is a decent WR, but AJ, even in decline will outperform Torrey for another 3-4years.
Last small handed RB we drafted never made the field for us, Ced Peerman... He turned out to be nothing more than a special teams play for someone else...
I like Taliaferro... Not at much as Seastrunk though .
is Ozzie losing his touch? Has the league caught up ?
Ehhh... I just feel like we're going to have a hard time fitting these DL guys on the roster...
I would have taken Seastrunk, honestly ...
the browns killed it this draft...they will be good this year
We've heard that for about 4 years in a row....
For me.. We NEED to find a way to actually have draft ammo next year... No more trading picks for special teams players or rb's that won't play or any other silly thing. We need to have more picks at our disposal.
Martavis Bryant is gone.. bit of a thin player, but would have been nice to have had. Now the ravens get to see him twice a year in black and yellow.
He probably won't even play this season... reminds me of a less talented Limas Sweed...
im worried they wont even give him a fair shake tbh
it's probably isn't justified if Mosley is what I and a lot of other think he is... I was never high on Brown, just didn't have the intensity I like for a backer on the Ravens.
I am. They wont drop smith imo. So it will be mosley or brown. So someone will be riding the pine
Darrell will probably be with us for 3 more years. If Art Brown isn't ready at that point, it was a waste of a pick.

Not every person publishes builds on the interwebs (nico) . The Erf is actually bigger place that the net would let you believe. Worked on my first one in 2002.
