Veritas Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Anyone ever heard of this being done? Getting the motor for my girls 240, and Im needing to get either the stock KA motor or im putting in this silly 300z motor that's being given to me because of the motor being blown in the car that we have now. If anyone has any suggestions or something let me know, motor comes with tranni also. T.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 the 300zx motors seem to be rather troublesome. Stick with a KA, you can pick them up all over the place for cheap, and they are rather reliable. The the trouble you would go through of rewiring the car, putting in motor mounts and swapping the bellhousing, you won't really be seeing enough power gains to make up for it.

Veritas Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 who cares about power, i just want a car that runs and people keep saying you can find these engines all over i have yet to find anyone selling anything yet:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 ever see how tightly those things fit in the crs that they were designed for? This is a project I personaly wouldn't undertake. Needlessly complex engines in tight spaces dont make for happy people. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 yeah true that but i would be getting the engine for just under one hundred. that's the only reason why i was even mentioning it so 240's themselves are sitting at uwrench it, or the engines are? cause i don't have any of my tools to take the engine out of a car currently:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 There's an s12 (I think, it was the squared-off late 80s 240 at any rate) sitting in a junkyard up near Toledo with a 300 N/A motor in it. I couldn't even tell if they had completed the project, the wiring certainly wasn't done properly. Looked like a decent fit, there was an easy 2-3 inches between the motor and the shock towers.

06busa Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I have a motor out of an 89 if you are interested. Also have a tranny, extra head, and other misc. engine parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusDrift Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 don't mess with anything besides the ka or sr. everything else is not worth the headache. ka's can be had for very little $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is in need of a hood, driver side fender, and the top part of the flip-up head lights for both sides. It had something to do with going underneath a van I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murasaki Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 oh wow yes please get back a hold of him boosted, he needs the engine for that car bad so he can get out and about again. I think he's messaging you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
