- The title of the book is "DATSUN Z V-8 CONVERSION MANUAL". Definitely worth
- the $39.95 I paid. The address is:
- Jaguars That Run
- P.O. Box 66
- Livermore, CA 94550
- I agree with John. To keep the fore-aft weight distribution near stock, you
- must install the V-8 against the firewall. The book above shows you an easy
- and cheap method of doing so, among other complete instructions for the
- conversion and the in's and out's of the component selections. I'm doing
- this conversion myself to a 240Z. Email me (paraska@oasys.dt.navy.mil) if
- you like.
