240Z -- Jay Fires Up the GT240 (Part 1)

More Details: This Z Body Kit is from ReactionResearch.com The car ran for about a year with this motor in there. I bought a "scarab" mount kit, modified the wiring harness, threw in a Richmond five speed and it ran. I hated how nose-heavy it became, and how it handled. After the diff blew, I parked the car, yanked the motor and cut the fire wall and trans tunnel out. The motor went back 9 inches and down 1.5 inches. As for this motor, it is only a test mule. I have a 377ci new Dart Little M, 12.5 to 1 comp, 18 degree heads, solid roller cam, and some nasty internals. My engine builder claims an easy 600hp and around 500ft lbs. That will be going in before next race season. The car is only 2390 lbs at full static but the new motor has aluminum heads, twin disk racing clutch, and magnesium scattershield. This should lose me about 110 lbs. The exhaust is 2.5 inch, 304 stainless steel mandrel formed and tig welded with Magnaflow 2.5 center 6 inch cans. - Jay

HOW TO SHIT ON A CLASSIC FIT AN ENGINE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT !

[julienlefebvre1981]

im curious to see race between an AC Shelby Cobra 427ci  vs your Datsun 240z 377ci .... ac shelby cobra 427 can develop 600hp too .....

I think half the fun of those old Z cars is just that they used nothing more than a six cylinder engine. Like the porshe, or old Power Wagons. Getting rid of the engine takes the magic away.

I dont know if I should bow down and offer this guy my soul, or be pissed as shit for violating such a beautiful Z. Wonderful job Jay she's gorgeous.

@xXNukeMeXx Stop talking and start putting up. In the meantime enjoy but most of all respect everyone else's videos until you "build your car" cause you cant talk shit if you don't have shit.

[xXNukeMeXx]

@tangledline Have fun with that. Cuz to be honest i can make a faster car with 10gs than you can

[tangledline]

@xXNukeMeXx Hey fucktard. You are missing the whole point in your sentence. AMERICAN made meaning we can do whatever we want to these "Asian made" vehicles because we are in America. So you go on and enjoy your little habit but in the meantime let everyone else enjoy theirs as well. We live in America, not North Korea.

@tangledline What the fuck am I gonna do? I'm buying a Datsun 280sx and a 260sx for 600$ and guess the fuck what. Im gonna make the 280sx a race car, but do It the right way by not shoving a dumb ass american engine in a perfect iconic jdm import. I do love muscle cars and the olders eras of cars, (gramp ownns 3 model a's) but its just disrespectful to shove a american made engine into a jdm import.

@xXNukeMeXx Here is the real question. What the fuck are you gonna do about it? Not a damn thing but cry on the internet. Now go to your mommas basement and do everyone a favor and suck some lead.
