Greenwell Springs, LA.
I have a 1977 280z datsun that I received in a trade. Got rid of my motorcycle to get back in the z world. While working the car a good friend passed away who had a 280z as well. In his z he had a sbc 383 stroker. His family gave me his vehicle. I took his engine and overhauled it. I found some aftermarket RHS and upgraded to a roller rocker cam. I slapped on a holley efi system with a high rise intake. I took the turbo350 trans out and replaced with a t56 out of a lt1 camaro. I put a new flywheel and McLeod clutch. I put on coilovers and huge wilwood brakes on all 4 corners. I shimmed a r200 lsd with new clutches and upgraded the rear to cv axles. I rebuilt some BBS RS wheels. Upgraded the lips on all 4 wheels to achieve a 17×9.5 and 17×11. Have rear and fromt diffuser built by SKILLARD. I have aftermarket bumpers front and rear by streetfaction. Currently working on interior. I put in some sparco seats and rollbar. I drive it around the block but yet brave enough to drive out of the neighborhood.
