I'm thinking about getting one.

A 2 seat q60 is a pretty sweet spot.

Oh damn. What color?

 

[Jehannum]

Oh damn. What color?

Yellow with black interior.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Well that was kinda predictable

 

[Mikeawesome]

which one will you sell

 

[Jehannum]

which one will you sell

Red one, likely.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Well, time to turn the dumb up to 11
LSx heads, casting pattern #862. 300ci I6 block.

Progress on this nonsense.
Booger welds. I've moved past this a little bit. Cleaned it up some, I need to find someone with a TIG and I'll just go over all of it to make sure its nice and clean.

Got some pre-made intakes and chopped 'em up

Then I welded them

Some light cleaning of the mounting surfaces so I can mount it on the block and play around with it

The internet is absolutely filled with CAD models for LS heads and intakes that are just slightly off. Combined with my fucked up plan I had to run through several iterations of the mounting differences between where I chopped the heads up.

But I finally got it sorted

And now I'm working through various random designs to get something that might work

Looks good, hopefully it ages better than the 350/370.

 

[Mikeawesome]

I'll get one if they make a convertible

 

[Jehannum]

Just stick with your Miata.

Took the back roads home from Zcon, it was a beautiful day for a drive away from the interstate.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I hate the interstate. Even if I'm just going back to Tallahassee to see family.

I really dislike it in the Datsun. I'm usually the smallest thing out there.

TFW when the tops of folk's wheels are above the bottom of your window and you dont even have door beams.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Well, I gots a turbo 4-banger

 

[gee]

What motor is it? don't recognize it.

DOHC printed proudly on the head reminds me of a Volvo 740 turbo engine but it doesn't seem to be that.

Huh. Only 4cyl turbo 5spd minivan motor I'm aware of are the Chrysler ones, which are SOHC.

They had a DOHC version used in a couple non-minivans but they don't match.

Yeah, guy I got it from did a fair amount of mods. I need to dig up the thread to document it.
