can u put 280 stuff in a 240??

[SR240Z]

I am aware that i will need the front mount, but do i need the small crossmember that holds the mount from a 280Z?

Thanks for your time.

I just finished the swap, but my Z is a '73 . I have a curved transvers link if you need one. I am not positive but I think the '71 has the link you need. I thind it is the '70 that had the stright t-link . I replaced the front diff rubber mount , just because . I bought it ahead of time and the old one it turns out was good . If your half shafts have 4 bolt flanges they will work. I did the ujoints while I was there. I posted before the 280 M bar is mounted with the purched forward unlike the 240. there is a web site that shows all the parts needed and describes the process geocities.com/zgarage.2001/engine.html have a look.

Beandip,

Thanks for the bulk of info, it was much appriciated. My Z is at my shop awaiting completion of a 1998 Sr20det swap, Motor is in with trans and whatnot. I have the R200 and 280ZXT CV shafts and CNC adapter fanges from modern-motorsports.com.

On saterday i will look at that rear transvers link on my 71 since i never really payed any mind to it untill now. If it is straight i will take that curved one off your hands for sure. I'll let you know saterday what i find with a pic.

So that Small front crossmember that holds the R200 front mount was not needed from a 280Z? cool.

Thanks again!

Sorry i'm late, No need for pix, The r200 is in my 71 240Z using the stock transverse link which DID have the bend in it (thanks bean). Everything was stock except for the mustache bar and bushings.

So if ya dont know... now ya know!
