Im pretty new to the Z world but not to working on cars, Ive built a pretty bad ass 13B FC, and a couple rock crawler Jeeps. So im not new to fabing or wrenching, but im stuck on what to do with my 71 240Z.
Im looking for some advice, heres my situation:
I have my Z stripped to a rolling shell, Im going to sand blast it and do the body work on it (someone backed into it while it was sitting before i bought it). When i bought it the guy was gonna rebuild the motor but didnt have time to, so I have the L24 block freshly milled, new pistons, all the seals, bearings etc, and the head (P30) was just rebuilt by a shop about 2 months ago so thats also ready to go... I have everything to put the L24 in easily but im not the kinda guy that does things cause its easy. I know i can push a good amount of HP for a DD if i just go with what i have, but since im at the point where i can build it once from the ground up, why not do it right the first time? Ive been considering a couple options so i guess what i need help on is deciding. This car will be a DD and occasional track car so should I:
1) Stick with what I have, do the normal mods (intake, straight pipe, headers, etc...)
2) Go to an L28 turbo motor
3) Do an RB25
4) One of my favs cause im a rotor head but most expensive, Do a 20B 3 Rotor
Thanks, and any advice is much appreciated.
