Just another 240 project... kinda*

[Brian*]

This is my 1973 240z, its in the rough right now but by the middle of this summer it should be done... Hopefully :rolleyes:
It has a rear locking diff out of a 280z in it along with the 5speed tranny out of the 280... The engine I pulled out of it in these pics was the 2.8 out of a 280 but needs to be freshened up, so I got an original 2.4 out of my buddies 240 (he did the 1JZ swap) it has an aftermarket cam and fresh internals* The twin SU carbs are nicely tuned and runs strong~ I have already a carbon fiber hood, rear bumper and taillight panels for it, and hope to have it in the body shop in the next week or so.. I'm thinking about going pearl white on it but am not 100% yet... Anyway, here are a few pictures of the engine swap. More progress pics will be added as the work is done, thanks for looking :goodjob:

2.8 coming out*

[ackrite1]

good like on your project, dude.

[Scotsman]

hell yeah

[Brian*]

Hopefully I can make it to some of the old school meets before the end of the year lol

[KPowerEP3]

Needs an L28ET at the very least :yes: Great start though, I never even got that far with mine before I said 'screw this'...that and I needed a DD so I traded it off.

[Brian*]

This is going to be my DD lol So I'm not worried about power, but the 2.4 does the job*

[FasTech]

I like this, but I'm more interrested in your other build. Goodluck on both though.

[atlxpat]

nice datsun, i love the old 240/280z and would love to do a project one day.

swap in a ls1!

[Me86Rob]

ill give you my Z31 for it right now as it sits. mine needs nothing and you can ask dave/john at zero garage, its very happy and clean for its age

[quickdodge®]

Very good and we hope to see you at the meets. Later, QD.

[Brian*]

Very good and we hope to see you at the meets. Later, QD.

Hopefully it will be done by the time I get my license back lol... Damn DMV!

Either way the car will be there.

Nice projects you got going there Brian. I guess since you can't drive much you work on your rides instead. George don't work for Vision anymore correct?

[Brian*]

^^ I don't think so, there really is no more Vision drifting, they hooked up with Jodin at Drift Emporium and are going for D1 now*

[03RCode]

I demand to see this thing in person soon.

[Brian*]

^ You know where my house is... Right??
