Thanks for the reply Dave. I will take a look at the MSA bumpers while in LA, but not get them. I really like your bumpers and will likely hold off until your powder coated ones are available.

Welcome to the forum. Since you are new here, we have a rule you need to know. All new members must post pics. We love to see pics of any and all Z cars no matter the condition.

Hmmm, those Futofab bumpers look really nice and I'm very intrigued by the powdercoated ones. The price isn't bad at all depending on the shipping costs from NH to MI.

I've been contemplating...

The octane numbers are not the same. Europe uses RON while the US uses (RON+MON)/2. 98 octane in Germany is the same as 93 octane in the US.

No problem Phil. I took CATIA training at work just before I bought my Optima and it was a good way to practice what I learned. I haven't used it much since then and couldn't possibly make that CAD...

Thanks for linking my bracket drawing Carl. It was easy to make and only needed a few short welds which I had a friend do since I didn't have a welder at the time. I bought the steel at Home Depot.

Alex, are you running L-Jet or carbs/aftermarket FI? I could not get my L28 L-Jet to run at all with a performance cam. I went back to the OE cam in that car and used the Web cam in my L28 SU car. ...

Great video Pete.

I run a Web Racing #91 grind cam and my 260's 2.8L pulls strong to 7k. They too know what they are doing and have been making Z cams for decades. My cam is a new billet, but they also sell...

You can always use a 1 gallon gas can as a temporary tank. Set it next to the car on the ground and route two new rubber fuel lines into the can from the fuel pump and fuel rail return outlet. With...

I don't know EU values, but that car seems like it is way overpriced. That would be a $2000 car in the states.

If it is really as clean as it looks, it's worth what the seller is asking. That said, never trust a seller. Inspect the car from below and make sure there isn't hidden rust. It probably needs the...

I would MUCH rather have the classifieds as just another forum so they appear as posts in the new content view. I find the current classifieds to be clumsy and I don't check regularly. I do,...

I haven't seen that silver 280 around here before. Thanks for posting.

What bushings are in the suspension? If they are poly, I would swap them first and then see how it rides.

Good luck with the rebuild!

I use Sta-Bil as well.

I saw the Yankee Lady flying through Dearborn this morning too.

Thanks. Adding 15 lbs. isn't terrible for a street car to get the NVH better.

Any idea how much weight the Dynamat added?

That's close to 170hp at the crank which is about 20hp over SAE Net when the engine was new.

That's stock? It seems really strong for a stock L28.

I still owe the forum a write-up on my engine, but the short story is that I got there by shaving the P79 and modifying the cam gear and chain guides to get the timing and chain tension right. I...

I have two flat top L28 engines. One has an N47 with 9.83:1 and the second is a P79 with 9.3:1. When I built the second engine, I skipped the N42/N47 heads I have and bought a P79. I think it's a...

Matt, Have you rolled the car forward or backwards yet? If not, the tires will grab the floor and keep it from settling.
