It seems that a chrysler 318/340/360 will bolt straight into a 240z with it's standard mounts, and I'm assuming that it would also go straight into a K. when I trial fitted my block it was very close to fitting in but I had engine mounts that were for a chrysler 6cyl crossmember not the std v8 crossmember ones (i had pulled out my 225 and dropped in the 318).

It was so close, if I had seen this sooner I could have saved myself a few $ but then wouldn't have the rack & pinion.

If anyone has a K they're doing up in brisbane and wants to put a V8 in it let me know as I have a spare block sitting in my garage and would love to see if it actually fits. If K's have different mounting points to the Z also let me know so I can stop dreaming.

Hmm, really now? And to think I have about 6 318/360 engines laying around here...

Well apparently you can just put them in with the standard V8 mounts. The info is on hybridz which are usually pretty accurate. Check the link I posted and the ones listed in that link and all will be revealed :nervous:

Let me know if you get one to fit without any mods on the mounts as I may just have to buy an old Z as a paddock basher and put a 360 in it.

I checked the Goodridge site 240k&Beyond, more good advice:classic: they actually list the 240/260z as a kit

It must be similar to the 240k... I did note that the GTR ones were POA though

Thought you might be interested in some Bahrain Madness.

Best 180B I have ever seen ;-)

F*&K ME , thats off tap

Those guys in the middle east drifting their skylines put every street racer to shame. I just wouldn't have the balls to do that in heavy traffic, I might do it in light traffic though.

this one is quite interesting too http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=rQZkFYQTKYc&feature=related

Man, oh man, am I happy we didn't sell our '71 240Z to the person we almost sold it to who would have done what some of these videos showed to that Classic. FREAKY street stuff, to say the least. Gotta wonder what or who all got in the way of the street madness, and very happy it wasn't our Z. Shut me up!
