Info about 1970 240Z RB25

[ttarget]

Hi.

I want to swap a RB25det in to a 1970 mod. 240Z, and in this case I want to keep in touch with someone that have done it before so I can get some information.

for example, I have the engine and the gearbox but what about the rear axel.

I hope someone can help me. :icon5:

you're gonna need to get the bigger yoke welded to the front of your driveshaft so it can slide into the rb25's bigger transmissions tail shaft, your fuel tank return hose is too small so you can either use a 280z gas tank or run your fuel return to one of the fuel breather nipples on the top of the gas tank. you'll need mounts made, and that's about it. make the mounts before you get your driveshaft done, as depending on your mounts and where the engine sits in the car, will dictate how long or short your driveshaft needs to be. then the rest is actually doing the swap and wiring it up correctly.

 

now may be a good time to get an r200 rear end and a mustache bar for a 280z or the http://www.arizonazcar.com mustache bar because the r180 in the 240/260's won't really handle the power as well as the r200 out of a 280z(x) or a z31 300zx.

good luck
