Merry Christmas to all. Well the mechanic made me cuss on Christmas Day, Christmas day of all days. Told me there is too much conversion to do after going all the trouble with machine shop work, the sump and manifold conversions, so he sourced another Z18 non turbo to install. is he thinking. Told him to completely reassemble to 720, I'm coming for it. Will post the out come later.

Well heres the latest. Went to look for him. The engine is in, the turbo is on, the down pipe connected and the electrician is working on it. He told me to coms back on Saturday, we should be starting. The down pipe is close to the fire wall but I will fabricate a manifold like nis720's. I wont have the master cylinder like him to worry about as I am right hand drive.

I plan to. There is a tube and fin 24" X 8" X 3" available here for 200 US, but the better bar and fin 24" X 10" X 4" is 600. When the repairs to the wingroad is complete I'll know which I'll be using.
