I absolutely love how four or five people talking about old school Z's have talked about how you should keep the L series engine in it and "work it over."

Why in the world would someone spend that much money working over a 12v SOHC engine with the worlds WORST fuel injection system (And it's only more expensive to convert it to the even more problematic Megasquirt) with a non-crossflow head and a weak transmission and differential pairing, especially an L28 with it's low compression. By the time he gets done making the engine produce what an RB20DET or RB25DE Non-turbo makes in power, he'd be out of naturally aspirated potential without stroking and have spent as much as an RB swap would have. What silliness.

And yes, I am the happy owner of a currently still L-series early '71 240z. Yes, I have considered doing what I have said above, despite calling it silliness. And I don't think I can make an argument for why you would put a rotary into an S30 Z-car actually, so I'll leave that one alone.
