First post! I have a 240Z that I bought from a member here after searching for a few months. It definitely passes the 10ft test with ease, but it ended up not being as nice as I was expecting. We were able to work out a fair price with that in mind so it worked out for both of us. After the engine work is completed, I will be getting the body work and exterior repair completed so she'll be real nice. Car has a somewhat upgraded L24, with a S3 cam, AZC 4 bbl intake, header, etc. Had carb problems, didn't run very well. New carb made things a bit better, but still underwhelming. I can fix that. When I bought the car I had an iron 6.0L sitting in the garage with no plans but I decided an aluminum block LS would be a better fit for this car. I picked up a L33, and soon after picked up a TKO600. I wanted a lightweight trans but I know a T5 wouldn't last too long. This trans is more than strong enough and is still quite a bit lighter than a T56 (and cheaper) I haven't started the swap yet but I've been preparing everything for a few months. I have most everything I'm going to need, at least all the really expensive stuff. L33 aluminum block 5.3L LS2 intake 90mm cable TB F-body oil pan Dingo mounts CX longtubes Harness/ECM TKO600 5 speed transmission LS6 clutch/flywheel Lakewood bellhousing Aluminum driveshaft from F-body Speedhut gauges Currently I am modifying the harness removing all the unneeded crap from it, once that is completed I'll be starting the actual swap - should be shortly after the holidays. My feeble goals -More than 2x current HP -Same or better mileage -Lighter curb weight/better distribution -More reliable -AC Things I still need -Different injectors or injector spacers -Alternator and bracket -Compressor and lines -New fuel pump or steal fuel pump from the Corolla and hope it still works -Figure out differential situation (really want R200 + CLSD), fab skills aren't quite at the level where I would trust myself making custom diff mounts
