302/C4 Install Progress


Just Jim

Recommended Posts

The 302 swap into my '72 240Z is coming along with few problems. I welded up a crossmember with motor mount brackets to use early Mustang or Falcon V8 mounts. I have a '62 Falcon with a 351W and the motor mounts were bought for that but never installed so they ended up on the Datsun. I modified the stock trans crossmember to fit a standard Ford C4 mount,the kind with two studs . The steering shaft didn't have to be cut to clear the Summit brand shorty street rod headers.I used a Fox body oil pan which sits behind the stock crossmember far enough to get the front drain plug out.

 

I need a good source to get the Neapco R200 driveshaft adapter and some place with reasonable prices for normal stuff like suspension rubber and rear hatch emblems. Got any suggestions?

Could you possibly post pictures and a step-by-step guide to help the noobies like me and their goals of a 302 Z? This could be the Ford forum guide to this swap...any problems could be adressed and this would help me (at least) very much.

HybridZ I believe is the most active for converted Z's.

Some other Z forums are:

 

Classic Zcar CLub http://www.classiczcars.com/modules/Jig/index.php

 

Zcar http://www.zcar.com/forums/

 

NICO Club http://forums.nicoclub.com/zeroforum/167

 

Doing Ford conversions is not as common so there is a lot less traffic in those sections for any site that talks about it.

 

 

 

Ruger fan? Me too. But I'm biased, I work there.
