(Sorry meesed up I should have said automatic instead of manual). I just wanted to know if there is a way to install a small chevy V8 in a 82 280zx but still make it an manual because every one says its a good idea but it it will make it manual. I am also thinking about the tiple carb system from Weber in the Z motorsport catalog. because i think thats the only way to get more speed and to keep it manual.
