jay260z Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Im going to all the local junk yards in search of a r200 for my 260 2+2. What all do i need to take off of the donor car besides the diff, half shafts and mustache bar? Im in search of a 3.90 ratio in good shape if anyones got a lead on one.

PETEW Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I know yours is a 260 but the needed parts are similar. The parts list needed to bolt in a longnose R200 into a 240Z is as follows: 1. mustache bar from 280Z with R200 2. yoke (companion flange) from 280Z with R200 3. rear cover from 280Z or ZX with R200 4. side stub shafts from 280Z or ZX with R200 to bolt up to stock halfshafts FOR EARLY 70-71 Z's only, you need 5 -7. 5. Longer 72-78 driveshaft 6. Curved transverse link that sits right behind the diff from 72-78 Z 7. Flip front diff mount around on crossmember More info: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=114798 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue72 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Just make sure you have large enough sockets to remove everything. I neglected to bring mine when I spotted a 3.9:1 R200 in a yard and had to go home and retrieve my 21-27mm 1/2" stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Is your car a manual or auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 1987 300zx non-turbos manuals have 3.9 as do some 200sx turbos though some have 4.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay260z Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 the car is getting a sbc 327/tremc t56 the 3.7 ratio will work but the 3.9 will be the better choice for a strip car because of the gear ratios in the t56. Ive been lookin for the 87-89 300zx non turbo cars but have no luck, all i have been able to find are the 86 and older 300zx cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
