Ok so I have been reading alot about v8 swaps in import cars, 302/350 rx7's ls1 rx7's lt1 280z,alot of 302/350/351 swap z's I thought about the idea of doing a carbed 240sx.I allready have the shell and the mounts are almost dead on to the subframe.I just want to get peoples thoughts on this.Lmk and begin the hate.

 

Let's get it done!

 

No hate here !

As long as it is Ford powered.

 

Just got to get to stewarts house to pick up the block he has for me,then mock up.I dont think getting it in there will be a problem,I do however need to find a front sump 302 pan.OK Joe lets get-r-done.I heard you are going to start yanking the motor apart.

 

I think it's a great project. Dare to be different Crazy Eyez.

 

bastardizing cars is cool

 

+1, Ford Powered Bastages FTW!

Motor should fit fairly easily I'd think. The only thought or concerns you may want to look into is the rest of the driveline. Tranny fitting into the tunnel (and ground clearance thereafter), driveshaft sizing (can always have a custom one made), and rear end goodies of course.

I say dive in feet first, get some measurements, map out a plan and set a goal for youself... Keep us updated for sure!

It's pretty the coolest thing to do,I know I am going to get hated on the mad tyte dorifto kids.But that's what makes me love it more.

 

As soon as I get the block and get it mocked up I will def take some pictures for you guys. And I really dont see the transmission being that big of an issue the t-5 and the transmission that came in those cars are pretty much the same in length.

 

stiffen up that chasis, little more torque than that 240 would be used to...
