Datsun 240Z uphill spirited driving
1972 Datsun 240Z
Triple Webers
Stage Three cammed L26 .030 overbore
Suspension Techniques springs, swaybars and torsion bars. Lots of other stuff.. I kept it to a reasonable pace due to bikes and traffic. I'll only really let it rip on a track. My shifter nob has a loose washer and that is what is rattling.

240Z -- Jay Fires Up the GT240
More Details: 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
