After adding up the cost of building my Z to where I wanted, I realized I probably wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage much less eat. So I figured buying a built Z would be the way to go and transfer over what I needed and sell off what I didn't. I drove from Springfield Missouri to Indianapolis and bought Brian Baker's built Z with a slipping auto tranny. Now while the color/body kit isn't necessarily my "flavor" I won't be killing this one. It will still have a life once I'm done building my black Z. Here are some pics Loaded up Stoptechs and SF challenges make a nice duo:) Engine bay All of the best parts on this one. No Chinese junk anywhere And to think I just spent $600 on stri gauges because I couldn't find the Defi BF imperials in standard measurements. Well here they are now. Yellow TTZ and my Black TTZ which will be getting the transplant Home The monetary black hole Anyway after its all said and done I just ordered exp100's with all the trimmings and the JWT 500 cams. It has worked heads with ferrea valves and JWT 400+ cams already but I was told that wouldn't cut it. It's a totally different ball game when going with the exp's. My goal is 1000hp while maintaining streetability. Still haven't decided what to do about fuel yet (e85 or what) but I'll cross that bridge when the swap is done. Right now I just want to focus on getting the motors swapped with the big snails on and then I can take care of everything else on top.
