glad to see the swap went so easily.
I think it would have been much more of a pain to try to do everything a piece at a time.

You're right about the bushings, you could do the window weld stuff if you wanted to.
Since I started really researching how to build a 240sx "rat rod" style, I have had quite a few guys tell me that they did similar things like that to their cars Not that they really had subframes in those kinds of cars, but the concept is still the same. Had one guy tell me he used polyurethane and heavy zinc washers to make his own bushings. It is really neat to see how people did/do things when there isn't aftermarket parts to buy. It is a lot of the same stuff that we have all learned over the years with "budget builds" and all of that, figuring out what parts from others cars to use (like 300zx brake and diff swaps) but taken a bit further.
I'm planning, when I finally get another 240 down the road, to do pretty much that same thing, A drill and polyurethane, and see how far I can get with all of the bushings on the car, including the subframe.

How does the driving impression compare to the blue car? Feel the same yet?



speaking of gearing and gas mileage and all of that, you know what someone should do? get the gearing of the 6 speed transmission they used in the camaros. the T-56 tranny i think. and compare that to the stock KA tranny and see how the 1-5 gears compare. If they are similar, then you would get the same kind of performance out of it with the 4.36 diff, but then be able to drop it into that 6th gear and have nice low rpms for highway cruising. Then you would have the best of both worlds.

hows the supercharger set up coming along?
