Questions before the wife kills me!!!

[LanceM]

I've got questions, too many to go searching for, and my wife will be home soon!!!

Short history, I have a 73 240, pulled it out of storage about a month ago after 15 years. I would like to add a 5 speed, R200 rear and on and on, you know just like everyone else

Move to today, I snag an 81 280ZX, licenced and driveable, with factory t-tops, electric everything and it all works. It has the usual body, frame, floor pan cancer, but who cares I bought it for parts and got it for $200.

My questions:

1) Can I swap the 5 speed and rear end into my 240? I'm 99% the answer is yes but got to ask.

2) It has 4 wheel disk brakes, can I swap the rears?

3) I has really nice seats that just need recovered, will they swap?

4) Electronic ignition, will it swap? Pretty sure it will

5) Since I have it what else should I look at yanking for my own use? Tach? Has a nice digital clock that works?????

I figure that if I can use the tranny and diff, I got my $200 worth, anything else is a bonus, I just have to convice my wife

It has some good tires and I think stock z mags, FI 280 engine that runs good and don't smoke so I figure I can probably part out the rest on ebay for the $200, What ya think??

I drove it around for a bit and I'm thinking of turning it into my DD till winter and really get my money's worth out of it!

Thanks in advance for any info and for putting up with my probably already asked to many times questions!

I've heard/read about people swapping everything you listed except the seats. Sounds like you got a great deal in my book!!
