510 Pros - help needed

jasonx · Post by **jasonx** » 06 Oct 2003 22:24

Hi Everybody,

Brand new 510 owner (still learning about the car etc.) I bought a 72 a month ago, not good running condition but a good body. As a long time Z admirer, I just stumbled on this car by chance - I'm learning that a 510 is just as good of a find (or better) than a 240Z. I am wondering if I can hook up with someone in Alberta to give me some tips.

I am considering some engine swap choices (KA24, VG30) but can't afford it right now. I want to find a stock engine in good shape for now with the eventual move toward a KA24 or VG30. Any tips would be appreciated.

Jason

Zed = Classic
SX= Ricer
ZX= parts car

sorry ajen, I'm kidding, z's are the business, they did get an awful lot of cheese added through the years though, like chev lumps and fur interiors

SX does not automatically mean ricer! There are some very nice SX's running around with anything from CA18s to RB26s. It's a wonderful chassis and has some nice lines. I've owned three S14s and will probably always have one.
