Stock Rear End

[TurboViper]

Hey guys, how do the stock rear ends in the 240s hold up to the ammount of horsepower and torque applied by the v8? that and suspension parts aka bushings, stuff like that. I just wanted to gather as much information as possible before I attempt to do this conversion.

 

Thanks in advace, - Gavin

I think the general consensus on this one will be to swap out to the R200 (or better) diff, and probably make the change to the 280z strut assemblies while you're at it. Of course, I could be wrong.

I've got a lot of 280 parts from the 1975 donor car laying around here including the R-200 (3.54:1) Way-way-way cheaper than Ecology bone-yard.

 

I live in Oceanside.

 

Almost done with this swap, come by and check us out for some ideas etc.

 

PM me for contact info.

 

As for collecting pre-project info; use search function, read, read, search, read, serrch, read, read, then read and read some more.

 

You've struck a gold mine here at HybridZ.org (seriously)

Thanks guys (sent you a pm hanomon)

 

Yeah the moment I started reading here about this (about 4 months ago) I knew I hit a gold mine of information, since then I bought my Z and have been researching, reading and working on my Z like crazy.
