    I just picked up a 79' 280zx and i was planning to turbo it. My question is can i fit my N47 head ( i believe that's the head it has) with a turbo camshaft out of a P90 head? i assumed not, but I'm having trouble sourcing a P90 head to use. Any guidance would be great!

    Lined up to buy an '81 280zx that's been sitting for close to 30 years, the owner claims to have the parts needed to get it restored but hasn't had the time to install everything. There are a few hoses that lead to nothing as well as a towel blocking something in the engine underneath the...
