Here's my other build: 1982 Volvo 242 Turbo:
Recently picked up a datsun 240z, lets get right into it!
Day I got it-
That motor ran like crap- blew smoke ( I think it was burning oil) and the carbs were at about 0/10 so idecided to pull that motor and swap in my dad's L24/5 speed since he's putting an sr20 in his.
So I didn't lie! It does have an engine swap- just the same stock motor from a 1 year older car.. next sumer something inline and turbo (rb20, sr20, 1jz) will be going in, I just figured if I had a mint running L24 I might as well get that for free!
Went down to santa clara at the shop its getting worked on- pulled that motor:
Brought that to my house, unloaded and pulled my motor:
had to reorganize/shuffle some parts around:
aaand new engine/trans back in the car, its that easy! (give or take a few steps, results may vary)
I got it running yesterday, and drove it to work today with only one problem- it won't shut off when I pull the key out.. but I'd rather try to get a running engine to die than vice versa.
Immediate plans include:
Megan weld on coils from mickinney motorsports
IMSA 3 piece ducktail
MSA urathane air dam
eventually Work euip 01/03s and flares will follow once I have enough money but the konig rewinds or what ever are on there look pretty good imo.
Thats it for now.. work on it should really pick up once I get some parts in.
