Rear end swap ( 73' 240Z)

[Zbrothershawn]

I've been looking into swapping out my R-180 Rear end for something stronger I would appreciate any suggestions...

It seems like the R-200 Is the way most people would choose to go.

I was wondering if there was a direct R-200 bolt in application?

I Have a 1975 280Z with all the rear end parts.

how much power (torque) can a R-200 handle in a non-drag application

but something that will get off the line nicely. (running a 7-10 inch wide nitto street tires) Grip but not drag slicks.

I'm hoping for all the componets to hold up atleast till the tires break loose.

the last thing i want to happen is for all my hard work to go down the drain

but i dont want to be shy with my car.

Currenly I'm running a small block chevy, 200R4 tranny.

Hoping to be running 350-380 FT LB. 300-400 HP :devious:

98% of my cars life is for street use (daily driver)

Here a link to my build with the help of my friend Summner P

The r200 is strong enough but you should run a 4 pinion lsd for the most strength.
