I have a 1978 Datsun 280z for sale in mount joy, pa. its got rust, and has been off the road and in my garage for a couple years. the plan was to fix it up but i'm relocating to NH and i have to sell it. maybe i'll try again someday. i had some work done to the head (ported, valves, springs, cam) it really woke it up. with some shady tires and a gtech it want 0-60 in around 6.5 sec. it also has some other bolt on with it. i also have another head of my zx thats ported, and a 280zx turbo engine and trans. that a pulled out of the junk yard. I pulled the oil pan off and it has a spun bearing. The car ran when i took it off the road but i was having problems with it shouting off and then not starting again until i would wiggle the injector wires. this was one of the most fun cars i have ever owned and hope to get one again someday. $950 obocomes with car and current engine zx cylinder head turbo engine and transand other misc. parts

The car is still available. i got an offer today for $100. he wouldn't it for scarp matel. maybe the car is good for nothing but the parts on it are still good i have $1200 into that head and it has low miles. the turbo motors got to be worth something. so if anyone wants parts let me now.

more importantly which head is it? P90 or P90A, look at the base of the head between the spark plugs for #1 and #2

the head that's built is a naturaly aspirated N47. the turbo motor in the picture that's out of the car has a P90 head. i'll get the specs on the built head for you. i'm thinking $400 plus shipping.
