New Z Motor for Earp's 260Z

I measured the 260 version, it is just over 1/4". I looked at a 240 head and it was just over 3/8" tall, the E88 that is.

I think I am good then. The two I've measured, the one on the car and one in the warehouse, are the same size as yours. The other two heads I've not taken a ruler to but they look the same as the others. I'm pretty sure I don't have a 240 E88 in my collection.

Oh, and we got some new springs on the Z too.

I had the alignment shop take the old ones off. Guess what they were? Stock Carrera suspension springs. I don't know the rate, but when I stood on one at 165lbs it moved a lot. I'd guess 200 lb/in or a tiny bit more.

Put some 450/350s on in their place. The difference in feel of the car with transition is revolutionary, at least to me. With the old springs the car would roll all over. This seems to really flatten it out.

I still need some decent camber plates and will post on the other thread about that.
