Its a 383lt1,t56 6psd,300zx TT rear, custom build axles,fuel system, cage,a/c,z28 leather seats, all gauges work, on 100shot car went 10.60 last year and easily be a 9sec car this year. Its very very streetable also with cats, mufflers and resonators.
this was at mason dixon http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b...9ef830190f.htm

i made the exhaust
I think the SC is a nice project as well, especially for the money the SC can be had, no headaches with the rust(that Zs are known for) Wiring headaches, and then spending that $ to make the drivetrain hold the engine, fuels system cost $ too.
Just a thought

Yep its gonna cost way more to squeeze hp out of that and restore it. But i'll slowly put a few bucks at a time into it.

The goal of the SC was to get a car that I can boost easily and have it be reliable.
