 Best-looking of all the Z-Fords IMHO, and plenty of people have done the SBF transplant already so there should be plenty of advice available.  Mk3 Z-club website here website.lineone.net/~zzoc3/index.htm I'm sure you know this already, but the Harris boys in Sarf London were putting Ford V8's in Mk1 and Mk2 Z-cars 40+ years ago, and what they don't know about it is probably not worth knowing. |

Pop Parts Plus have one in at the moment. Get yourself over to Derby for the Ram Rods meet as Paul who's a regular up there built and drives one with a Cleveland in it.

Buying a BMW or a Bentley & looking cool is easy, but the credit doesn't go to you.Taking an unloved car that cost £500 & making it good enough to get photos in magazines or stand out alongside cars that cost one hundred times more is a skill reserved for us loonies! |

I remember that car, owned by a chap called Bill Gibbs, who was in his fifties even then if I remember, the car's probably landfill now or baked bean cans, not sure if that's a shame or not, but v8devon and I were talking about that car only a couple of weeks ago! |

I'd love to see some proper photos of Humdinger. Please, if anyone has some please post them up. All I've seen of it in thses last 20 years have been some old polaroids or whatever.

Great stuff....it's getting like the NSRA forum...'whatever happened to'.....  Those old sixes sounded great.. THAT Tango ad from the late 1980's, featuring a Mk3 Zody. |
