Just Jim Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 The 302 swap into my '72 240Z is coming along with few problems. I welded up a crossmember with motor mount brackets to use early Mustang or Falcon V8 mounts. I have a '62 Falcon with a 351W and the motor mounts were bought for that but never installed so they ended up on the Datsun. I modified the stock trans crossmember to fit a standard Ford C4 mount,the kind with two studs . The steering shaft didn't have to be cut to clear the Summit brand shorty street rod headers.I used a Fox body oil pan which sits behind the stock crossmember far enough to get the front drain plug out. I need a good source to get the Neapco R200 driveshaft adapter and some place with reasonable prices for normal stuff like suspension rubber and rear hatch emblems. Got any suggestions?

Guest TheJollyGreenGiant Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Could you possibly post pictures and a step-by-step guide to help the noobies like me and their goals of a 302 Z? This could be the Ford forum guide to this swap...any problems could be adressed and this would help me (at least) very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izulatr3 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 when installing the 302 in your 72' did you still use the stock voltage regulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sxynerd Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Are there any other Z forums that are more active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival5 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 HybridZ I believe is the most active for converted Z's. Some other Z forums are: Classic Zcar CLub http://www.classiczcars.com/modules/Jig/index.php Zcar http://www.zcar.com/forums/ NICO Club http://forums.nicoclub.com/zeroforum/167 Doing Ford conversions is not as common so there is a lot less traffic in those sections for any site that talks about it. Ruger fan? Me too. But I'm biased, I work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
