Miles Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 Thanks for the feedback. we are going to try and finish the car so we can make it to the next MSA meet in May. It is my son's car so I'll have to beg him to let me drive it once in a while. That is OK as I have a very clean stock 72 240Z daily driver I am going to convert this summer. I plan on using a crate engine for my conversion. I would appreciate any advice you have on crate engine sources. I want a "ready to drop in" complete 72 300 hp sbc. My plan is to have the car ready and take a week off from work to do the engine swap. Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl327 Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 really nice swap, hey is it me or do the msa mounts give you enough room to run a mechanical fuel pump??? hmmm. i really like your center console and the way the shifter comes straight out the floor, reminds me of mopar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RXO510 Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 We agree. That's a very clean swap. Great job! J & G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 4, 2002 Author Share Posted February 4, 2002 Fairlady 327 Unfortunately, there is not enough room to mount a mechanical fuel pump. We are using an electric fuel pump wired to the elusive stock "green wire". I found that the green wire starts taped up at the gas tank and terminates in a taped bundle just behind and to the left of the 72 fuse box. I did not install the JTR oil pressure cut out switch for the fuel pump. I am going to use an inertial cut out switch that chops all power in the event of an accident. I would have prefered a mechanical fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 lookin' good, miles!! nice pics! and that's an affirmative on using a mechanical fuel pump with the msa kit. a good friend of mine has a 72 240Z with a 400 installed, using the msa kit. it sits back a good bit farther than my 377 with the hooker/scarab kit, but not as far back or as low as the jtr kit. personally, i like the msa kit a lot more than my hooker/scarab kit.
