UPDATES FOR C10 & Z CAR -
Greetings to all - Check out the 64 C10 / I totally stripped out all the front end steering and suspension parts and also the old manual steering box / I cleaned and undercoated the L/R areas for the new parts . I am also laying out the rear sway bar for installation !
I just finished primary wiring for the Datsun 240 Z along with the steering column . I also installed a new fuel pump with filter and ran a small electric pump to drain the tank and put in some 93 octane and test fired the engine . I will move onto base tuning and oil change etc from here !
Stay tuned for the madness !
1964 Big Window Short Bed Wideside C10
This is of course my little C10 shorty I am putting together . The 5.3 LS and 4L60E are all new .
I used a truck Norris cam ( .550 lift ) with LS7 upper goodies for the heads and they are totally worked. It should be good for an honest 450 HP with the internals .
The trans is good for 750 HP just in case I add turbo/s and has 3200 stall speed .. The intake is using the 102mm throttle body and the Multech injectors.
The new fuel system features a 20 gallon tank with a 255lpr Walbro pump and Corvette style regulator / filter assembly . All braided fuel line to the engine .
I am using the FiTech stand alone system to run the engine ad transmission and will share more as I get there.
The driveshaft is a custom 3.5 inch aluminum unit built here in San antonio . KYB Gas Adjust Shocks front and rear and front and rear sway bars are on the way!
I scratch built the 3 inch exhaust with high flow cats and a pair of Flowmasters . I like the Stainless band clamps because they seal very well and you can always make changes and finish welding if you like .
Stay tuned for the Madness
1970 Datsun 240Z / Series 1
Update - So as you can see in the images I am working on the refurbed dashboard installation. Being that this machine had the dealer installed AC - the evaporator was added next to the heater and blower assembly. This means that the space is extremely tight for wiring not to mentionaccess . It is a Very challenging process so needless to say Patience is mandatory .

1978 KAWASAKI KZ1000 LTD
This is the bike right off of the trailer in the first 2 pics with 20k original miles and as you can see it is a real cherry unit !.
So as you scroll through you can see the bike with my personal mods done. My goal was a cleaner more streamlined look for the LTD .
I did the Sport bike handle bar conversion with correct clutch and throttle cables and grips / front turn signal swap to headlight bucket with F/R shorter signal stems / 1 inch front drop with new adjustable kick stand / My custom leather seat / removal of grab bar / redo all red stripe on body / new reverse megaphone muffler / oil and filter change / chain adjustment and more of course !
The bike is super clean top to bottom and runs rally nicely - Smooooth and powerful !
Lets see what bike I get next - stay tuned !
