No I just built it up from stock to what it was in about 3 years and spent wayyyy too much money and time doing it and got burnt out. The motor let go shortly after the turbo and I was tired of all the money. In hind site I should have thrown a car cover on it and just went about my business but owell.

Finally made a tiny bit of progress.
Money dried up pretty damn quick which has slowed things, but I'm about to the point where I can make major progress for little cash.

I had an older Lakewood that I wanted to use but it didnt have provisions for a slave cylinder like the one pictured in post #20.
Fabbed up a little bracket and my good buddy MIGed it on for me today.

Motor can now go in soon. I was wanting to get it more complete before I installed it, but my ARP poly locks are too wide to fit my CRANE rockers so I maybe finishing up the motor after it's installed.

Before the motor goes in I need to swap pilot bearings (extended pilot needed for t56)
and basically bolt everything together, re-route some factory fuel/brake lines, grind off the old tranny crossmember from the tunnel.

Ready for paint
(that glob of shit below the fork hole was done by the PO, I have nothing to do with that)

That thing should be a blast to drive.

Those old Z-cars always turn out cool with a V8 swap....this should be a good one.

Call me crazy, but I always wanted to do a swap in one of these....



I drove an 85' for about 4-years as my daily, all through school, and it was a real decent car...especially for that era. Always wondered how one would turn out with just a mild small block in it.

Cool project man! Love the old Zs

I just swapped out my old first gen 385/700r4 combo out of my 240Z, just dropped in a LS2 short block with LS3 heads and intake. Going to pick up the 4L80E this evening. My old set would run 9.70's on a 175 shot.

You are going to love it!!!

I've seen your purple Z run. Impressive and very streetable small block.

Flywheel resurfaced, centerforce installed, and finally the t56.
I just really need to buy engine mounts, a mini starter and a t-56 shifter and then I think it's ready to go in.

Looks like the slave set up will work. Only time will tell. I was relieved to get all line and fittings figured out.

[greenbullitt]

ill look in the am for that shifter. pretty sure I know exactly where it is

[HarrisonTX]

Man that would be awesome.

Someone buy this damn thing before I do.

The tires do all have air in them and all the lights are on it that i have as well as its got a front air dam too that goes with the car.

For sale is my 1972 Datsun 240z. It's a great project or parts car. I have extra panels for it also. Have more interior plastics as well. It got a great almost no rust chassis underneath. I bought another truck I decided to fix instead.

I started to do a engine swap on it, putting in a ford 302. So it will come with or without the mount kit and the fuel cell.

the tires do all have air in them and it rolls fine i have the title


Or all together a deal of 800.00

I bought another truck instead so just going to sell this one off.

And also this..

[HarrisonTX]

I love in about 2 weeks. Need to get this shit back together fast.

It's just sitting in there, my clutch fork is hitting the firewall, so I need to air hammer a littler clearance.
Still need a shifter pretty soon.

[Rreemo]

Man I've got a couple stock shifters in one of the cabinets...one of them may be the stock T56 shifter from a D&D trans I bought a number of years back. I'll take a look this evening when I get home and see what I can find.
