I dont know if this will work for this post but it is my "new"

Car will have a sbc of some sort in under the hood within the next 3 months
(I am torn between oldschool with carb, or new lt1 or ls1 if I go true oldschool I can do full v8 swap 400whp for 4k in this little rocket)

Car weighs 2200lbs without me in it it is a 71 240z manual
I tuned the carbs out and got it running pretty good now, it pulls away from our chipped 04 4 door cummins dodge making about 400whp so it isnt to bad all stock






Will have this post for all the fab work going into this little bugger when it all goes down

 

RB swap FTW....

nice buy....looks super clean!...

 

needs watanabe wheels, those rivit on flares, black paint and I would rock a sr20 swap but the sbc is cool to.

 

Yep and I bet you couldnt guess the price
$2500
I have about $100 in it in putting in new fuel lines, fixing brakes, etc and it runs like a champ
the car hasnt been driven in 20 years (the plate says nov 87 lol I need to change that b4 I get a ticket)

for the cost of a rb26 swap I could do a ls1 and turbo it make 600whp and still have some change left over lol

Here is the more or less end product when I get done with it

it will be a nice glossy black with yellow racing stripes though
on the hood it will say 570 z

Looks clean. I hate those cars, but it is a clean one.

I was just going to clean it all up paint the block polish the valve cover etc (make it look blingy) and throw it on ebay it doesnt smoke it runs perfect I have seen some go on ebay for 2k longblock only in this condition but if you want it let me know what you would give for it
will be everything :
full long block
tranny
clutch/flywheel
I am not really trying to get rich off it but I would like to get to ease the price of the swap

hell of a pickup for the price. my buddy is actually in the process of swapping an ls1 into his 280
