im looking at purchasing a 240z, possibly in the very near future, and im wondering what some common problem areas are that i should look for. thanks for any help

just get a 4.3v6 and turbo it

once again the input is appreciated, but can we keep this more along the lines of the original question... thanks for any help

my probe is very far from stock. and the klze didnt ever come in the mx3, the mx3 had a 1.8L v6 as opposed to the 2.5L ze. although i appreciate all the input, im not really looking in any direction other than the ze. maybe when it comes down to it in the end ill look at the l28, but i doubt it.

probes are fwd, but a simple adapter plate can mate a tranny up. im hoping to run MUCH better than a 14 second 1/4, im already running that or faster with my N/A pgt. i just love my engine and know a lot about it, plus i can get a KLZE (as said before, 200hp jspec version of the stock probe engine, have one in my car now) for 550 bucks with under 30,000 miles on it. i guess i just like to make things difficult on myself!

i am obviously a brand new member of this forum and i plan on reading thru in greater depth, but i thought id throw this out here in case anyone wants to take the time to give me some suggestions. so im looking to get a 240 which i can drive for a little while and then eventually swap a mazda KLZE v6 into. i choose the KLZE because i am a ford probe gt owner and the KLZE is the japanese version of my motor... so i have a lot of experience with it. basically what im looking to find out is what to watch for when looking to purchase my z, and whats needed for the eventual swap. what are some usual problem areas that i should watch out for when looking at a potential car? as for the swap, i have a decent idea of what im goign to do but i definately need some input as well. engine is taken care of, fuel injection via megasquirt (already have a megasquirt on my car), assume ill need a new fuel pump/filter/fpr. as for transmission, im not sure how viable it would be to fit a stock tranny up to my engine, and i also assume i want the 5 speed from the 280 if i do use a stock tranny? lacking that i plan on a 2nd gen rx7 tranny. custom motor mounts, shift linkages (if changing tranny), hoping the stock steering rack will work? the overall plan of the car is to supercharge and make at least 350whp, and use it for just an all around fun car. plan to drag it, autox, maybe some road racing, everyday driving. any help at all would be appreciated, sorry if this was vague and ignorant, im just learning about these cars!
