That one looks really clean in that photo.
i always figured those things for 4cyls untill i saw a beat up one at the pick and pull,those motors are pretty huge for a car that small
Yea, and they can be made to make lost of power too. I had one we used to drag race that did 12's with only adding a factory turbo, intercooler and 25 psi of boost. It would rip the tires loose in all but 5th gear.
25 psi?? did you have to do anything else for the motor to handle that much boost? what did it run prior to the turbo?
Smog! If I'm gonna do it it'll hafta be 73 or older, only want a 240. Shoulda never sold my 72, but what's done is done
... A couple gauges didn't work, which is actually really comon for those it seems, but the interior is just as nice as the outside....
after seeing Adam Corrola's 510 I fell in love with that Datsun. I'd love to have one of those one of these days.
Why '73? California's up to '76 now for no smog.... well, for however long it's gonna last. (It wasn't '76 the beginning of the year, but recently it's gone up to '76
The 280's also have a 2.8L instead of a 2.4L. Now, if you want to get fancy, you could find a crank out of a Maxima diesel and put it in a 2.8L. this would give you a 3.0L L motor. I think they were called a LD28 and only came in the Maximas.BTW the Maxima gas engine is a 2.4L with the oil pickup in the front. The boss is there if you want to drill it for a rear pickup.If you put a E31 head (early 240) on a 2.8 you will have a high compression engine with stock parts. You should at least put the 280 valves in so it will breath.Oh and the 73 240 and 74 260 both have the square Hatchi carbs that aren't worth a crap. That is why the 280 went to EFI. The EFI on these cars is very simple and can easily be tweaked.
The 260 and 280 also have longer frame rails under the floor.What else do you care to know. I spent years working on the early Z's up to 83. After they went to the new body with the V6 I kind of faded away.This is the LAST one I restored, it is a 78.
