I've got a 1971 240z it currently still has the L24 in it.
I am in the process of upgrading the drive train and engine as follows:
L28 (some details to be determined)
240SX Transmission (modified 5 speed bell housing and transmission mounts)
STI R180
New Moustache bar from a 1973+
New front diff mount from a 1973+
CV axles
(and other suspension and brake items that I don't think are related).
Before I get started, I want to make sure I've my ducks lined up, I've been through the various sites and posts most have related to the 73 and newer swaps.
As I understand it, the 240SX transmission will bolt up with a modified bell housing and relocation of the transmission mount. I've read conflicting things about where the shifter will land in the 1971's but I think it lines up perfectly with the original position of the 4 speed shifter and will not hit the console.
The 240sx is longer than the 240Z-280Z transmissions, but the 1970/71 has the rear diff more forward than the 73+ models. So I think if I relocate the rear diff to the 73+ and more rearward position with an new mustache bar and new front diff mount, I can use the 1971 drive shaft.
Am I missing anything or have anything wrong?
