Absolutely! Justification for my hoarding

So, I pulled the original Z24 out from under my bench. This was a runner, but smokey when I swapped it almost 20 years ago. One piston (#3) had bad rings and ring lands. Bores however, cleaned up nicely with a hone. Waiting for parts now. Will get new pistons, rings, bearings, timing chain/tensioners, oil pump. Have a reco head here on the shelf. The KA24DE swap can wait for now.

That didn't exactly go as planned. Took her out Saturday and had a big end bearing or gudgeon pin failure, so time for a rebuild or heart transplant

This car just keeps on enduring. It's hardly been used since our son was born 18 months ago, so I listed it for sale. (I have a dual cab D22 now) My wife found out and told me I had to keep it, and in hindsight I see that she knew I wasn't ready to move her on. So, the old girl gets another reprieve. I am going to make a more concentrated effort to use and enjoy her, as well as fix a few of the small niggles that I have allowed to creep in.

I run a DGV 38mm on mine, and don't use the idle up, never used a choke either - its been on there for 25 years, have never had an issue with AC. Aussie 1986 WD21, Z24 In fact, it has been the best car I have ever owned.

Looks great, I have a Grant wheel on mine too it's over 10yo and holding up really well. , this one: 1970-1987 Dodge van Dodge pickup 2WD steering wheel no tilt MOPAR 15" TUFF WHEEL | eBay

It's the microswitch on the side of the transmission, or the circuits leading to it. Mine is on permanently because of the same issues, I have a new switch and plug, just haven't got around to changing it out.

Welcome, Great to see some more Aussie representation!

Direct swap, just need to match the cloth up

When removing your torsion bar X-member, measure the tail of the adjuster bolts , that way you can get your suspension pretty much where it was in height, then you only need a small fine tune if necessary.
