This may be a great opportunity for you to put in a newer engine with a turbo or supercharger. Good luck.

Tuesday I Rolled off the cover, it's like getting a new car every spring!
Last fall when I pulled off the wheels & tires I noticed the lug nuts were a little cloudy around the base, so today I ( oh yes I did ) I spent almost 2 hrs. polishing me lug nuts

Calling for 3-4 inches of snow Thursday night into Friday morn. so maybe next week I'll be able to take her out for the first time since November

I know how you feel man. I have been hoping for nicer weather here in Ontario for a while now. The cover is still on the Z, along with the battery tender. I was waiting for the incoming rains to cleanse the roads of salt. Now I heard that Ontario will be getting snow this Friday as well, all coming from Michigan. At this rate, my Z will be out in early May.

Y'all are getting the same weather we've been getting, last night almost 2" of rain, again!
You talk about early May, last year I was on my way to the dragon & z dayz in mid May and ran into a sleet and snow storm half way through Detriot!
Freaked me out a bit because I had the summer tires on! Fortunately I was able to drive through it without any problems!
Sooooo when you said early May, I get it

Purchased replica Craftsquare mirrors with wide angle, CF, and TC-F mounting style. Excited to replace the gargantuan stock side view mirrors with something more sleek and functional. Someday I will buy the real thing with TC-N1 mounting and blue tint
