Carl Beck Posted March 20, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2012 If I were going to do a V8 conversion - I'd look for the cleanest and least expensive 280Z body or rolling chassis I could find. They are stronger, had better corrosion protection than the earlier 240Z's - - and for good bodies they are usually far less expensive. They come with fuel tanks ready for FI as well. Of course the guys at HybridZ.org can offer a wealth of information when it comes to V8 swaps.. The other thing you really should start with is a large amount of money..good luckCarl B.

Bruce Palmer Posted March 20, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 20, 2012 And by doing what Carl suggests you'll help preserve the more highly prized early cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
