240Z Dash in a 280ZX

I bought a 240Z model today to test paint schemes on my 280. Well, while taking all the parts out I noticed that the dash was different than on my 280, I thought it was just a mistake, but I found out it was the actual dash. I like the 240 dash much better than the 280's and I'd like to put one in my 280. How difficult will this be? Is there a major difference in width between the 240's dash and the 280's? Will the gauges or HVAC controls or other controls be a problem?

Nope - it won't fit. The dash in my 1971 240Z based 250 Ferrari GTO kit is fiberglass and is designed to use the sheet metal "skeleton" from the original dash. The dash is designed to fit a 260 through 280Z. I had to retro fit the sheet metal skeleton to fit in my car and it was a lot of work. The steering column is in a different location and lower. The whole HVAC area in the center of the dash is different and I had to make many of the pieces to get it to work right. It could not be done without making a mess of the stock dash cover.

 

Sorry! :cry:
