hey guys! im in need of a rebuild! so i might as well make this motors move this little truck a little faster!

haha so what can i do to it besides obviously head work? and is there another head that is better and compatable on here? i already have a 38/38 weber

looking for around 200hp............ and where can i get a GOOD rebuild kit?cam,pistons,rings,gaskets,water pump, bearings?i will be doing this, in college automotive class, with the help of the instructors and other students

oh yeah, '85 720...Z24

bump

really? noone has done a performance build?

A lot of us are still considering options. PIEZ said he is looking for around 200 HP also. Read some of the posts to find out more.

Rodmods post (mods list) has whats been done. Check it out.

vg30/33 with a xterra supercharger. z31 turbo setup if your really mechanically inclined.

If not all I could see you doing is a good carb, a nice size exhaust to keep exhaust velocity up for scavenging. a good bit of headwork, portmatch everything. midrange rpm cam. good tune on the carb, slightly higher compression pistons, or a small block chevy?

And if i was doing this in a college automotive class I and only the teacher would work on it, I would not trust an engine to a bunch of students that probably havnt worked on cars outside of the classroom. I built my first engine 3 years ago in a shack with dirt floor and it still runs good today, but i knew what I was doing, somewhat.

yeah... i haven't updated my thread yet... but i'll be doing:

a MILD camstock head... shaved with port and polish... and a super thin headgasketalso thinking the sidedrafts carbs will be my best option

the reason the plans changed slightly is because i read in depth the rules for my autocross class

as far as pistons... high compression KA pistons will work
