Hi Guys,
As a project car I am looking into a 240z or 280 now, even 260 is an option. I have used this forum to find most of the differences between the 2. But still can't decide which chassis would be the best start. I want a RB26dett swapped in.
Car will be used as street car for fun and occasional race car, certainly not a daily car. Initially I preferred a 240z, series 1 or 2, since those are the originals, less weight, less extra's etc. But the 280's are easier to find in good condition (all I care about is the body, rest (engine etc) will be swapped anyway), and they have a stiffer (but heavier) chassis to start with.
Some cosmetic differences could be changed, such as the 280 bumpers, since i prefer the 240z look.
But in terms of the RB26DETT swap, what would the better route? 240 or 280?
Other then finding the 280 easier in good condition, what are the REAL benefits for such a project?
Any opinion, ideas or comments are appreciated.
