Well of course I am adding to the engine. I am trying to find a short block right now to start working with. I am very picky about how an engine is balanced. So, my friends at northside machine are going to balance everything in that engine to 1/1000 of a milligram. Iam then going to knock .090" off of the head and hav the valve sunk in and reseated.050" deeper. that alone should add about 125hp. I'm just wondering if i could find performance camshafts for it.

 

Thanks,

Lets see if this really works!

 

IS THAT A TURBO DIESEL????!?!!? Would you mind sharing how the combination went? Did you use 280ZXT parts?

Hi Chris!,

Yes, it is an '82 LD28 Diesel with a turbo system retrofitted from a 280ZX of the same year, click HERE to read some of the details, if you want more info,, just reply.

if only it were to give me more HP

 

lol! Didn't anyone tell you? Using a bottle of engine degreaser is good for 45fwhp!!!! hahahaha

Nah, actually it may not give you more power, but it may help your motor run a little cooler, and a little more efficient with it cleaned up a little.

The headlight housings are way bad, anyone know where I can find that headlight trick with the oven and stuff?

Yeah I washed my car today because it looks like the ash isn't raining as bad anymore.
