It's over 300hp. 280 block, bored, low compression E88 head from a late 260Z. Close to 10.5 CP with the forged, domed pistons, 3- 44MM Solex Mikuni's and 3 into 2_ 2 1/2 outlet headers into 3" single SS Magnaflow tucked in at the back. The picture was taken with the 2 1/2 all the way out the back after the Supertrap's were removed as someone cut them. off
.
The inside is bare bones with an aluminum old school racing seat bolted to the floor
and only the dash and door covers remain. I did find a picture of the roll bar that SCCA allowed at the time, but no longer. No Heater, no radio, Just toggles and breakers and an Accusump in the drivers floor making it look more like an airplane like the old British cars. The Nissan Comp, Now Nismo guys knew me and my credit card well.
The paint came out great and when I showed it to guys like when Ron Butler (Butler Brothers) he got his brother (the painter) and they at me laughed and said some thing like: "Sure you did... but whoever re-did the flares and painted it did dammed nice work" Then came out the pictures of my garage with it in PPG epoxy sealer primer green....
Over 15 years the paint looks great, but not perfect, and there are a couple of hairline cracks on the rear wells but nothing an epoxy backing and touch up paint and wet dry can't make disappear.
