i found something on Z31.com about the swap..but i want to know if i need new bolts or not?? i dont know if i can use the OE bolts from the Z31 plenum..I've priced out about $100 worth of just distributor stuff i need...cap, rotor, wires...i need bolts to raise the hood, that's what..$5-7? depending if i need new bolts for the pathy intake that's a couple more bucks...then i think i need a new lower intake gasket where the intakes will meet (less i can re-use it) so that's another, what...$20?

just wondering what all i need to make this happen..the less new stuff i need, the better..im thinking about getting new plugs too

the plenum gasket sometimes comes off clean other times it sticks and tears, no way of knowing untill you take it apart, rtv will get the job done in a pinch

you neeed the bolts form the pathy intake, the z31 bolts are too long IIRC

you need the distributor, ans it's hold down, and it's really only half of the plug wires you "need" but if buying new you get a complete set, the best solution is a trip to the pick and pull salvage yard to get it all at once
