Well I was excited, yet disappointed at the same time with this car...

it's an 240Z.. with an '83 ZX turbo engine swapped in it...

but there is no turbo.. he just used the turbo block and put on some dual webers...

Can someone please explain why someone would do this.. other than the ease and affordabilty with Carbs?

Anyway.. it's a very nice car, with 7 coats of Ford Red paint... nice airdam.... nice seats and interior...

I imagine he used this engine for a number of reasons the dual webbers are a waste of money if you ask me unless you go Tripple.

The SU's are fine for the Z unless he couldn't get a hold of early carbs.

The ZX block had extra webbing between cylinders making it slightly stronger. All L block are bullet proof but just that bit extra.

It may have a N42, P79, or P90 head which are generally higher flowing heads.

I'd imagine that's why he did this.:classic:

If its a turbo motor with turbo head and pistons and no turbo i imagine it's not very quick. You should stick a turbo, efi and computer back on it. Maybe the turbo died and he couldnt afford to rebuild it.

Do a compression test and see how much compression its making. Carburetted L28's had flat top pistons, didnt they? and turbos had dished pistons to reduce compression.
