Early Z's (1970?) had the differential mounted further forward that later Z's. This required a shorter driveshaft. A lot of people with early Z's have since relocated the differential and no longer require the shorter driveshaft. It just so happens that the shorter driveshaft is just the right length to work with the longer 71C gearbox, so if you can find one of these early driveshafts, you're all set. Otherwise, you will need to have your driveshaft shortened by 30mm. Note: my original picture showed the early driveshaft as 700mm long. This was a mistake! It's 720mm. I've corrected the picture.
I almost wish a had not restored this car it was original but had a lot of unseen rust. io had to replace the metal from the dash paid forward. all four corners of the doors where cut out and new metal fabricated to replace the rust the rust under the tops of the front fenders was just unbelievable. I used por 15 n the underside of the fender......no rust what so ever in the tail ed. this is a California car sold new in culver city (LA). the must of went sking in big bear or something .car was in ventura by the beach for 30 years ...I had to replace the headlight and tail harness. It was well worth it. the head lights/tail lights are bright like a new car
