I went to Z Docs the other day and I'm really sold on one of their cars. I've always thought about cars I'd want to buy and build, ideas come and go, but an old 240z just stuck in there. Back to the story, I went to Z Docs and found a pretty good shell with a nice interior, great body and hardly any rust. I'm seriously considering buying it as a summer project before I go off to college. One of the things that I'm really drawn to in the 240 is the seemingless endless list of engine swaps. Granted I love the L28s but if I were to build one, I want it to be unique. I remember reading about Z Fever's SR20 swapped 240 and literally my jaw dropped because if I were to do a swap, it would most likely be an SR just because of the reliability and availability of parts, etc... really not considering a small block or anything 'RB.' So my question is this, does anybody know where I can find information about swapping the SR20 into the 240? I searched on here and I really didn't get anywhere, same with Google. I never really post like this cause of how people are treated on here but this is something I'm seriously clueless about, so, anything can help really.

 

i would ask taylor, they fit well, its just not a direct bolt in from what i understand.

 

If you're not looking to spend lots of money do a SBC.

 

It's very appealing but if done, it would be my dd and I'm not sure how they are as far as gas mileage, long distance dirving, reliability blah blah... just seems like an SR would suit me better.

 

You're going to daily drive a 30 year old car with a motor swap??? The S30 chassis is really cool, but I wouldn't want to sit in one every day. With the price of modern, reliable, gas-sipping, daily drivers being so cheap, I don't know why you wouldn't just make the 240z a weekender.

 

Because I am a senior in a high school, I want to become a better mechanic, regardless of what I want/get, I will still always want a 240z, I'm about to go to college, I'm not made of money so a 'weekender' is a little out of the picture. I'm sure if I love my car like most of you do, I wouldn't have a problem riding in it everyday.

 

If you're not made out of money dont even think about an SR swap. You'll save a lot more money going the SBC route.
