hey im thinking about getting a 240z but i need back seats idc how small they are i just need room for at least more than one person is it worth it? any major differences?
Hey guys I'm thinking of putting a 4.8 gmc engine in mine do you think that would fit and should I have to make any changes to my frame, I noticed your engine was sitting pretty far back
@tacito69 Yep. You will notice that this engine is not sitting on the stock frame. This is a custom tube-frame that allowed the engine to be put way back against the firewall. There's really not much Datsun left here.
Does that thing have a shifter problem or a clutch problem? There seems to be a big gap between his shifts and it surges. ?? Awesome build tho! Sounds mean as hell!
@redgateproductions and your point is? People have been putting different motors in cars since there have been cars.....look at hot rodding generally - most popular cars to hot rod? Old Fords. most popular engine? small block Chev. Nothing wrong with mixing it up!! 240Z's are pefect V8 conversion material...
@redgateproductions I know several American made Chassis with imported Turbo straight 6s and turbo V6s! Even Import V8s! And I know a huge amount of import chassis with American engines like LS1s, LS2s, and old Carbed 350s and 383s! Nothing wrong with a motor swap dude. It all just depends on your budget, taste, and skill!
omg im 16 and im already saving up to buy a 240z, ill take it completely trashed or in an alright condition, either way imma spend my life on that thing :P, its gonna be my baby
i had an engine swap done right across the street from you guys. while i was there you fired that thing up and i immediately started drooling. great build!
@SkunKsmoKes The entire front cage was done with simple sketches and I freehand built the rest. I didn't keep any of the original designs. Cut the firewall out, drop the motor in as low and far back as you can and build around it. Trangulate everything for strength and don't work yourself into a corner. Good luck!
Not meaning to bite off the originality of the car, but i would want mine with that body kit . That motor sounds so smooth i thought it was an ls1! what is it exactly ?
@Tehsnook That is a 280YZ body kit... Type in 280YZ Body Kit into google and the first link is a history/current use page for this kit by reaction research. This has been around a while BTW. (Interestingly enough the OPs car is on the page. lol)
Sweet car. But did i see a carb? i would have Went with a fuel injected ramjet setup. With the computer hook up. the little black box as some call it. you probably know what i am talking about. i personally think that is the best way to go. but it is More expensive. But you make up for it in fuel consumption. We have an s-10 with just below 1,000 h.p. almost 500 runs. no repairs yet. a very good set up. extremely reliable. broke a trans. in half though. right down the middle. Twice. :-)
Ok, you have the skills and money to build the car......do you have enough money left to replace your diapers every 30 seconds? HAHAHA, great machine.
man i could get my uncles old 240z and put my fuckin truck engine in it haha, engine compartments in these cars is great haha. and id get 210 horsepower with a chevy 327 which is good for upgrades right?
Sweet 240z. I live near Sacramento, I wanted to do something like this for my 240z for many years, but never have a shop or a good garage to do it in. I am wondering if I could pay you guys to do the body and frame work on my 240z? Contract me if you guys could do the work on my 240z. Take care.
I love this video man. It reminds me of when I had an 86 S-10 and put a 350 in it. Just built it up to a 330 HP nothing special, but it sure was fun. I was inspired by my nephew who raced his S-10 with a 700HP stroker with a 3 stage NOS, roll cage, everything for the strip, but we would take it out on Sat night and make a few bucks. Those were the days!
The Datsun 240z body style is a timeless classic beautiful in every way.. Even when its chopped up and slapped back together on a racing chassis with a prostock type v8.
What's the rear end on this thing? I put a 1973 350 Chev in my 1979 280zx and the 373 rear end was way too low for it. I wanted to put something less than a 300 in it with positrac but couldn't find one at the time. So it dropped from 25 mpg to less than 14 mpg. And at the drag strip, it would pretty much sit there spinning the one tire.
@ysgeye It is a modified R200 with 3.90 gearing, a KAAS 2way limited slip, a Nismo finned cover with cooler provisions, that is hard mounted to the chassis. The CV conversion uses one-off Skyline/ Porsche hybrid units.
this is bad as hell man..literally the sickest datsun build ive ever seen just leave it that color and everything just take off those damn ricer mufflers....itd sound better anyway
poor datsun, why do all you idiots have to ruin old cars like that? fucking chev engine in a jap sports car? stick to driving your pos land boats around a circle for 3 hours and go ruin some american pos
Poor confused purist....what part of the car pisses you off more. The fact that it would stomp on ANY factory Nissan built to date, or that it uses a carb fed V8?

BTW i think it would be best if Jay left his car the way it is, unpainted.
Why? Because looking rugged creates a more aggressive stance for the car ontop of what it already has.
In a way like a ratrods style, because the more shades of rust it has, the better it looks!
