Kevin.pk Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just thought this was kind of cool http://jalopnik.com/5071584/how-about-a-v12+powered-datsun-240z How About A V12-Powered Datsun 240Z? We'll admit that it may well be impossible to top the Austin-Healey 100 with supercharged Jaguar V12 in the Insane Sports Car Engine Swap department, but we still think putting a Jaguar V12 in this Z was a fine idea. The seller doesn't provide a lot of info about it (we'd like to know more than just "chev 6 speed") but it looks like the swap was done with a minimum of duct tape. And all for just $9,000 Canadian! galleryPost('V12240Z', 3, 'Jaguar V12 In A 1971 Datsun 240Z'); Jaguar V12 In A 1971 Datsun 240Z http://jalopnik.com/5067927/irishman-modernizes-classic-datsun-260z-hoping-to-start-new-stereotype Irishman Modernizes Classic Datsun 260Z, Hoping To Start New Stereotype Politicians and celebrities routinely get into trouble for referring to a certain stereotype about Irish individuals and inebriation; may this Nissan/Datsun 260Z 2+2 from the Emerald Isle start a new stereotype about Irishmen and tastefully modified automobiles. What began as tinkering with a navy blue Z ended up with a gray beast that captures the essential design elements of the Z fused with an aggressive appearance package. Featured over at the ZClub forum, Jay28's Z makes us want to start trolling Craigslist for one of our own.

SpeedRacer Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Where is Chelle when you need her? She did a great job of converting her awesome Z based Ferrari 250 GTO replica to BMW V12 power (and RHD)!!! Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dot Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It’s nice to know something you build has a life long after it is sold. I remember it this way. The Healey I spotted at a show last September and it is one of the nicest swaps I have ever seen. I waited around to talk to the owner but ran out of time. His wife was informative though. The 2+2 Zs were the darlings of the race track as I recall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
