Just some shots of my 1973 240z, I had posted it in the "car pics" section before I found this forum lol... People didn't respect it to much because its not a new 350z or EVO or something lol, but what they don't realize is, if it was not for our old school rides their rides would not exist!! Anyway, here are a few shots of what i have going on...
It has a 5speed out of a 280z in it along with a rear locking diff, original 14" Nissan wheels... It had a 2.8 out of a 280z but needs the SU carbs rebuilt (for sale if someone wants to buy it lol) I bought an original 2.4 out of my buddy Kuy's car (he did a 1JZ swap) it was rebuilt by some race team that races down at road Atlanta "or so he says" lol It has a cam, new pistons, rods, bearings...

Well I have a long way to go on it, it still needs new interior pieces and a good paint job but should be done by fall!! I'm thinking about going either pearl white or just strait out white with a little gunmetal pearl in it.. Anyway here are some engine swap pics :goodjob:

Thanks for checking it out:cheers:

240 z's are awesome cars. Glad to see you putting this car together. I had one many years ago and had a lot of fun in it. 240's are getting hard to find these days. If you need any parts or paint work advice PM me. Good luck with the build

:lmfao: Troof. I left Brian's at like 10ish and past 2 state troopers, and 4 county cops before I hit the city limits. They were out heavy that night.
