Thanks for the info, and keep it coming. I am definately green on the Z car good and bad points, but I do like the look of the 240 with a spoiler an front and rear, although I dont know what manufacturer to use. Can the 280 be made to resemble an early 240? I think it is the no bumper cleanliness I like, but I cant put my finger on it. My goal was to take the car apart and seam weld it, but if i can get by with other ypes of structural strengthening, then i would be game for that. I have successfully done 3 LS1 swaps, 1 88 RX7 Turbo with a 98 LS1 T56, A 93 RX7( Newer body style) With a 99 LS1 T56 ATI procharged and Intercooled, and the last one was My Lincoln Mark VII LSC with a 2002 LS1 4L60E. I drive one of these cars every day, but I was getting the itch to do a car that nobody around Ohio has. Since the 3 swaps, I can tell you quite a bit of info on the LS1, and the RX7, but the Z car is new game. With the rx7s you are limited to either a 3.90 gear, or 4.10 gear, and i have read that the Z has a 3.30 or something gear. The Rx rear is good to around mid 10's with the 93 and 9's with the Turbo rear. I have also read that the Z has a weaker rear, what is the strongest rear? To guys that have redone the interior, how much is it to do. I am wondering if it is worth it to buy a very good running 240 with good interior and sell the engine and trans, unlike I have done the past cars. What is a good 240 engine and trans worth? Sorry for all the questions, and keep the replies coming. I just spotted pparaska's car, and if i must say that is the "look" i would like to go for, it is definately a nice car!

Looking forward to doing a 240Z LS1 T56 swap, and I am wondering what I should look for in the car I buy. I live in Ohio and wouldnt think about buying anything east of the rockies for rust reasons. What options and prices should I expect to pay. Are there parts of the car that are expensive to repair (interior electrical,etc) and where are the first places these cars rust (Living in Ohio makes you hate rust) Im sure I will have more questions about the car, but now I am looking for my project car. has anyone done a turbo LS1 setup?
