on the 240z,there is a factory mount for possibly some type of harness bar.it's on the dog leg behind the seats.three 10 mm threaded holes in a triangle shape.read about them on this site and found them on my car.

I installed speedhut gauges in my 1970.i used 4 inch and 2 5/8 inch sizes.i was able to fit all them in my original metal gauge pods with slight modifications.that way,they bolt up securely with the existing brackets in the dash and look quite original.i don,t think you can go wrong with speedhut considering they can be custom built for you and they have a good warranty.also the gauges have stepper motors that sound cool when you turn the key on.

hello,try contacting zsportcanada.com..they are car importers.

I have just finished re-wiring my 1970 with v8 engine.some other members gave some great pointers so i'll add mine.it is indeed a long process but well worth it.installing a new harness is the biggest improvement you can do to an old car.i bought the rebel 14 circuit (excellent kit) and thought it might be over kill but should have used an 18 or 21 kit even though I think I have a no-frills car.you may want to add something like a extra fuel pump,vacuum pump,electric water pump,etc.I decided to not use any of my stock switches to simplify the install and also give the car a hot rod look.i used a Peterson 7 wire signal switch.it does not self cancel but is a well built and dependable unit.way ahead of the factory switch.i always hated where the combination switch and ignition were located so I put a key switch,start button and kill toggle where the map light and center vent were on the dash.toggles switches where the 4ways were for my lights and dimmer switch.i put the fuse panel on the passenger side and a fused buss bar under the hood to run the 9 relays in the system.there was sufficient wire included,but had to buy the black wires.i bought grote black wire which I found was close to the rebel quality.i too recommend a ratcheting crimper pliars with non-insulated jaws,quality shrink tube and weather pack connectors with crimping tool for those connections out in the elements.i pulled the dash also to make it go easier.it looks overwhelming when you start but take your time and google a lot.the company "easy2wire" has a good installation manual online (rebel has none).how to build a hotrod.com is another good site as well as jalopy journal has a 15 page how to forum.good luck.

I Feel My Engine Swap Really Changed The Character Of My Car.I Show It A Fair Amount And A Lot Of People Walk By It, Then Do An Abrupt Turn to Look At The Chevrolet Motor In It. Some People Recognize It As A ZCar They Had Or Someone Else Had Years Ago.Never Heard One Negative Comment About Originality. Most Seem To Appreciate The Modern Improvements I Have Done To It.Then There Is How I Feel About It , A 45 Year Old Car With 450 HP,Modern Suspension And Electronics , Etc, What's Not To Like? Always Loved These Cars Growing Up As A Teenager In The Seventies Owning Muscle Cars Back Then. The Urge To Build A High Performance Sports Car / Hot Rod Hit Me 5 Years Ago, So Why Not A 240 Z ? The Great Looks, The Performance And The Ability To Upgrade The Car Whenever I Want To Are The Things That Changed The Character Of It For Me. Each Time I Drive It, It's Like A New Experience. Probably Would Not Feel That Way With The Stock L24 In There.
