280 engine mod into 240Z
I get your point on this and i don't think it is worth the efford, if you want a long rod motor that can rev, you should de stroke a L28, using crank and rods from a L24. What i know is based on searching, reading and more searching and reading and i have also read some place that milling down dish top pistons will take of some of the strenght, still i have no experience, just a thing i wouldn't do. If you have 9 millimeter L24 rods, they can bring in something like $100, its just what i would do. I'm supriced that no one else have chimed in on this, maybe you will have a better chance of getting a answer if you jump over the fence to hybridz.com, its more the style there, but please fill us in if you have any interesting news on this subject.

Coil power?????
Search after FSM and there will come a link to the factory service manual. the wire from ignition swich to starter is black/yellow, black/white from switch to ballast resistor, green/white from resistor to tacho/ignition switch. Hope it make sense. You can PM me your mail and i have a PDF with a -73 FSM i can send you. Maybe you should look in to swapping your ignition switch. Chris

There shouldn't be anything wrong in jumping the coil resistor and starter, the starter can be jumped with a screwdriver. I'm sure Dave will jump in on this one with some good knowledge. Chris

which to buy
Like Mike B said, post pictures, shouldn't an early 260Z have the smaller bumpers ? Go for the one you like most, in the end you will regred saving money if you buy the 260Z over the 240Z if that is the one you like most (i think so) and if it is because of the distance, you get over it. If you like the 240Z most, make the seller an offer, just choose what you like best. Chris

280 engine mod into 240Z
Why do you want to mill down your pistons, is it to save money ? i would advice you not to go that way, if the rods is from your original L24 and it is a matching block, you should keep it as is with the car. Flat top pistons can be purcased for a price around $200 and you can have your cam send out for re grind at Delta for a price in the $80-90 area, you will not want to use the turbo cam in a N/A motor. I recently got pistons from Northernautoparts.com send Rick Schroeder a mail and he can give you a quote rickschroeder(a)northernautoparts.com. Unless you use a BIG cam you will be fine with stock carbs and manifold, maybe get some other needles. Chris Some cam specs FYI http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm

"Rare" carbs ?/ Rebuilding
Hmmm. have been better, but not as bad as in the states, actually it's kind of a farce, the stock marked, house sale marked and the banks are hit, but PPL have the excact same money now as they had a year or two ago, the food prices and gas has gone down and the intrest haven't gone that much up, still PPL have been scared by the news and are holding on to there money, i think it's just a matter of time before they realize it and start spending.
