Well no pics yet haha, but found out from the po that the reason that it was parked was not the freeze plug, lol turns out theres a fist sized hole on the intake/exhaust side of the block. :) So im debating options now. Dont know whether I wanna use the msd box and stuff out of it and go back to stock or maybe drop a 350 in it. hmmm.

KA24E is cheap, every 240 kid sells them or gives them away for a SR.

I got a L28 pulled out of a running car but the fuel pump went bad, so the owner abandoned it at my dads shop. the engine has been pulled for 2 months but it spun freely the day it was pulled. $150.

Any trades? Maybe for the wheels in my sig (either set), or a clarke arc welder, or td05h turbo in one of my for sale threads? Not looking to spend any money on the car right now since I have some other stuff to finish first, but if you might want to trade for something Im game.:D

My brother has a 280 sitting in his yard that was stored for the past 12 years in an Airplane hanger. He wants about $1,000.00 for it. May get it cheaper.

Got an engine coming tomorrow prob. :) I think Ill mainly just need parts...frame and most of the body on the 260 is in great shape, so ill mainly need small things...not really looking to spend anything on this car yet either. Have a lot of other stuff to take care of first.

X2, Nissan makes too many good motors to choose from to go throwing something else in it...

Lol thanks guys. Yea the car is wired up funky, so Im gonna use the other stock harness, and run it. im gonna take the msd 6al out, and probably remove the emergency battery cutoff too, as its probably not gonna see any hardcore track time anytime soon.

Push button ignition in a 240z??? What the hell??? Don't put any american motors in a jap car. You destroy the heart and soul of the car itself.
