datsunlover Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Ok... background.. I'm wanting to do a V8 swap this winter (351windsor/C4) and have evrything worked out.. as far as what I have to buy/do. Curently driving my 75 280 (fairly stock.. SU's open exhast..) which I was thinking of doing the swap to.. I was just a little hesitant to 'hack it up' cause it runs/drives/looks good as is... So that brings me to now; I have discovered a 71 240z localy (well, 2 hours north of me..) that is complete and fairly straight. I'm thinking if I built this one, I could leave my 75 alone.. A nice stock DRIVER you know? Heres the rundown; It WAS converted to 350 Chev a few years ago(no engin/trans now), has air dam moulded to front end 'sans bumper' (looks good) f.glass fenders, rear wheel flares, roll pan, front coil overs of unknown origin, roll bar, guages, and of course, the floors/rails are pretty much history. Thing is, it still sits straight, doors open/close good and are SOLID.. (Im thinkin the trans tunel, window pilars and roof are holding it together..) and the front and rear 'frame' areas are still pretty good.. salvageable anyway imo. Interior is all there.. decent.. glass is all good, has NICE 'sport' rims on it (Iron cross loking Z rims) with decent BFG rubber, and all the trim/crome is nice. All in all, I think its a good builder.. and if I tear into it and decide its too far gone? Well, for $300 Can. I figure it's GOT to be worth at least that in good parts! Now I have to find a car trailer I can borrow or something... man oh man... I think I may need psychiatric help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
