Hi Folks. So this ended up being a bigger challenge than expected. The head I bought was not great at all needed a lot of work. Then decided to chance going down the route of manually leveling the cam shaft. Dodgy approach but worked out. Now I'm going to reassemble it all and see how it matches up with the block. I might have to come back and install tower shims to get the exact height back ag...

Hi Folks. It's time to strip down the L28 and see what I am in for. I'm hoping for just a quick check to see that all is in tolerance and reassemble. If I find any problems, then it will fix them on the go. I've been playing around with these engines since I was 14 but never did a nut and bolt strip down, so fingers crossed. Hope ye enjoy!

Hey Z Heads. After fitting the doors, I noticed that there was an issue with the dogleg. It was slightly misplaced but also the contour was incorrect. Time to get cutting. I also repaired the cracked solder joints and fitted the after marked battery tray. Enjoy!!

Hey Z Heads. It's time to upgrade to the stronger Nissan S14 5 speed gearbox. This episode I will be using the internals of the S14 gearbox and bolting it up to the 280Z bellhousing.

To all the Z Heads out there. Time to fit the R200 differential. Its a beefy job but I didn't foresee how the reinforcement interacted with drop links for the rear axle . Ended up reorienting these and reinforcing them to do the same job. This is my approach which I have yet to test on the road. Let me know if you would have done it another way?

To all the Z Heads out there. Its time to clear up some space and start reassembling the Z. I cleaned the parts by wire brush and painted them as we assembled.

To all the Z Heads out there. Time to completely handcraft the steel behind the rear quarter window. Apologies but I left out the part where I weld the roof to the gutter from above.
