My 1973 240Z has the same kind of rear sway bar mount as your car. When I installed a V8, I had to change the pinion angle of the differential and when I changed it, it hit the sway bar. I fabricated some aluminum spacers and a small extension bracket so that I could lower the sway bar and still use the existing bracket mounted on the body and the clamping bracket. The sketch below describes the fix and also included are some pictures.

I used a 1968 302 block, bored .030" and fitted with TRW forged pistons. I used the Eldelbrock Performer RPM kit with aluminum cylinder heads (2.02 intake, 1.60 exhaust), hydraulic cam, high rise manifold. I used roller rocker arms and a holley street avenger 670 cfm carburetor. For ignition I use an MSD distributor and Crane Hi6 multispark box. I am running long tube headers. This combination dynos at 360hp and 340 ft-lb of torque. It has a nice lopey idle, but is very streetable.

Here is my white 1973 240Z with red interior. It has a 360hp ford 302 with alum. flywheel, Z code T-5 five speed and 300ZX CLSD with 3.70 gears. The suspension has Eibach progressive springs, Tokico 5 way shocks, urethane bushings and front and rear sway bars. Brakes are 300ZX vented rotors with Toyota 4 piston calipers. Wheels are XXR521, 16x8 with Yokohama 225 50 16 tires.

The car has stock struts with Tokico adjustable shocks, urethane bushings and Eibach varible rate springs.

I put the XXR 521 wheels on my Z and with the correct spacers, they fit perfectly. I am using the XXR 16 x 8 wheels with Yokohama S Drive 225 50 16 tires. The wheels have a +20mm offset. I had some billet wheel spacers made to fit the wheels. The front spacers are 19mm and the rear spacers are 11mm. I am using longer ARP wheel studs. The wheels were reasonably priced. I got a set of 4 for $475 including shipping.

My 240Z has XXR 521, 16x8 with Yokohama S Drive 225 50 16 tires. The car is lowered using Eibach springs, but uses stock struts and no modifications to the fenders. The wheels have a +20mm offset, but I use a 19mm billet spacer in the front and 11mm spacer in back. I am using ARP wheel studs. The wheels were quite reasonably priced at $475 for the set including shipping.

This is my 240Z(302 V8)with 2007 Toyota White urethane paint and 2005 honda silver stripes

I am looking for a set of 280z outer stub axles from a car with standard transmission

I am using Enkei 98 series 15 x7 three part component wheels and Toyo Proxes 215 60 15. They fit the stock struts and wheels wells. The car is lowered with eibach variable rate springs and the tires still fit.
