Mikelly Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Actually this is shown briefly in the JTR manual. They show a pic of one in a car and mention that it is an option but... They are heavily bent towards the small block chevy. I'd suspect that if you got all the proper connections for the FI harness, and kept the same trans with the motor, you'd be ok.

SpeedRacer Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Don't think I've seen one with a Nissan V8 but here is a shot of the one with the Lexus V8 http://www.jps.net/zparts/sidebars/eng_lexus1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank280z Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Mike, Wasn't that a Lexus drivetrain? I beleive it too was a 4.5l. Is that the same block? If so; my bad. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Well, I have a real flair for the unusual sometimes, this sounds like an awesome swap! It wouldn't be as easy as putting in a SBC likely, but I think it would be well worth the effort still. ------------------ Drax240z 1973 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed an error in the URL listed in the above post referencing the Lexus V-8 engine swap photo at Z PARTS. I am a big fan of the Z PARTS site of Eric Neyerlin where several unusual engine swaps are featured. Apparently thebLexus V-8 engine swap photo has been moved to http://www.jps.net/zparts/showcase/engines/eng_lexus1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jason You might check with Eric Neyerlin at Z PARTS http://www.jps.net/zparts/index.html In past posts to me he has mentioned that he has been in touch with several persons around the world that are working on unusual engine transplants. One is a lady in Australia that is actively working on a Q45 V-8 transplant into a 240Z intended for autocross use. Another person in the states is working on a dual-turbo Mazda L20 rotary engine swap. -Sleek Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
