Datsun 240Z Repairs

Posted on by

Update: the Z car from our exhuast post a couple weeks back has returned for a new clutch and slave cylinder along with the necessary components. Should be a big difference in engagement for a more positive driving experience.
We had in this neat little 240-Z that is a daily driver as well as a weekend autocross toy. Customer stated it was in need of exhaust repair and replacement of the intake/exhaust gasket.  This is a car that is truly enjoyed and shows you don’t need a big budget for big fun.IMG_0491 IMG_0492

Lincoln Mark VIII exhuast

Posted on by

You don’t see many Mark VIIIs on the road; and this is one perfect example. But being a typical Lincoln – it was too quiet for a hot rod guy. We welded on a pair of glasspack mufflers with resonated tips that give it a deep rumble letting you know there’s power to back it up. IMG_0756 IMG_0758

Engine swaps and installs are a common type of modification when it comes to increasing a cars performance. Weather its upgrading/updating a factory installed engine, or installing an engine that was not native to your chassis, getting it assembled, installed and running properly is what we do.

A true one-off fabrication; this custom manifold was a labor intensive job but it got done to the standards required. These pictures don’t do this job justice in terms of the planning and involvement to make such a piece. But it shows that it can be done with the right supplies and skills

We have this super nice Volvo 740 here for some tuning work to be completed using Megasquirt software. The car is already a great running car and was needing some fine tuning to be dialed in. Numbers we’re shooting for are about 250 rwhp at 11 psi. IMG_0931
