Hey there everyone, thanks a bunch for your input. I am glad I decided to join this forum, as everyone will agree there is tons of info on here. So yesterday night after the replies I received, I went searching for the rules or guidelines of the forum (shame on me for not doing that first), and can see why some of you were bothered with my post. It makes sense. How are you guys going try to help me or give me a response if you cannot understand what I am asking, so my bad there. Anyways, as a little update on my situation after some research, I gave the owner of the Z a call. So pretty much he knows it is for sure a 260z. He also added that it was the first year that had fuel injection. So for the time being, before I can actually go and take a look at it in person, I asked if he can send me some pictures and find out exactly what year it is. First thing I will do is look up the thread for common areas of rust. I'll see if the guy will let me take some pictures and see if I can post them, and maybe you guys can tell me if the rust issues are something that I can repair my self... Little side note, if I do purchase the vehicle I am planing on looking for someone or someplace that will teach me how to weld because I have no experience in that. I have always wanted to learn though, so this project would be my opportunity. Once again thanks to all, and sorry if I seemed a bit lazy and not thoroughly research. This is something I always wanted to do, so you cant blame me for being exited. Maybe I'll never put a Vq into it but I at the least want to take the first step to start this and give it my all!

Sorry for the quick post, I guess it was a bit offensive for some, lol. It's supposed to say 260z for $1200. I wanted to be more specific and be more detailed than what I wrote, but I did not want to have the post turn into a 5 page deal. I know that it's going to be a difficult swap and it's not something that I would plan on starting right away,it's what I had in mind for the future. I'm glad you guys aren't trying to drive me away, because clearly that's why I posted in this forum to get the opinions and advise of people that are familiar with Nissan Z's. So hopefully this cleared up somethings, and once again i would appreciate your input.

hey there everyone, id appreciate if i could get your opinions and advise on my idea/dilemma. i found a 1977 240z for 1200. i haven't had a chance to look at it yet but so far i all i know is that its running pretty good, and the only rust is on one of the fenders. what i would like to do is a vq35 swap, its been done on the 240 would i be looking at anything than whats been done on any of the 240z?
