I've got a V8 240Z build going and figured I'd share some information (and solicit feedback and advice from the community) along the way. Of course there are many of these builds on hybridz, but it looks like there's still room to contribute for this kind of build. Have a bunch of the parts for the build already, but there's a long way to go.
The host car: 1971 240Z. Good condition, not completely original, just under 100k miles.
Goals for the swap: fun mountain road + weekend street car. Intend it to equal or somewhat exceed my other engine swapped turbo car.
- "Good effort" NA V8 build for street use (600-700hp range)
- Simplicity. If we can remove a failure point or find a simpler way to do something, we will
- Reliability via simplicity and over-building where uncertain.
Have the engine, tranny, and piles of other parts already. Next post will have more on those.
