So I’ve been lurking around these forums for a while now as I’ve decided long ago I wanted a 240. Just today I went and had a look at a local 240z as pictured below. It handled really well and the L28 seemed to be running fine. I’m new to Z’s and I need to make sure this is a decent deal. I’m thinking of doing a SBC drop but I’m having second thoughts as the car was an extremely fun ride as is. 1973 DATSUN 240-Z ($4,000.00)

-- Besides the spot in the picture the body is dent and rust free, and of course the missing rear lower panel (250$ replacement I think)
Any thoughts?
