Pretty simple question. I have a 5-speed left over from my 510 project (I think thats what it's from)of a couple decades ago, will it bolt onto my 72' 240Z? If not I have it for trade or whatever. Thanks again for the help, Regular Joe:ermm:

Just thought i would post a few new pho-toes, That is my son Bo working on his first Z project. Regular Joe

Thanks, These will work great. Regular Joe

Hello All, Does anyone know where I can download some simple outline type drawings of a 240Z? I would like to use them to play with color schemes and graphics before I spend the big bucks on paint. Thanks, Regular Joe

Thanks to all. Great info to get myself "edumicated". Joe

I was guessing at 110 mph for the top speed at red line. But just guessing, is there a list of the gear ratios for the 4 and 5 speed trannys? I have those other rears to check out, I think one of them is a 3.92 or something like that. I also have a couple of trans and if I remember one is a 5 speed, maybe that would make the 4.3 workable. Thanks again, Regular Joe

Ok, my 72' 240Z that used to race SCCA ITS is going back onto the road and I have to dump the welded rear end. I have a R180 that has a 4.3?? ratio out of the front of an 80 something pickup, does anyone have any experience with this ratio in a street/auto x car? I think I still would get plenty of highway speed while gaining quickness out of the tight corners. I have 4 other 180s and 1 200 I need to check yet if there is a particular ratio that comes recomended. Thanks in advance, Regular Joe

I'm not sure about now but back then the rules really limited what you could modify, So most likely I will leave it as modified. Re-jetted carbs, header with a free flow exhaust, lower ratio in the final drive. Of course I will change the brakes to ones suited for the road, dump the welded rear end and I'll have to find a D.O.T. legal fuel cell.

It's original paint, years ago I was told the color was called "Sunshine" but I never really researched it. My schitck when I raced was to keep it as stock looking as possible. Do you like the Blue? We want to keep it the original color but maybe add a stripe or graphic and are debating on a complimenting color. don't forget the "LSD"????? Please clarify....

West side of the State, 25 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Please don't hold your breath, it is likely going to take awhile!

:classic:I found this 1972 240Z in a barn about two miles from my house. A couple of spare engines, 4 or 5 R180 and R200 rear ends, two extra trannys (I think one is a five speed?) etc. So my Dad, my son and I drug it home and are ready to start putting her back on the road. I hope you are all ready for some more basic questions that I'm sure you have heard before. I have attached a picture if you are interested, (wasn't sure how to insert a picture into the text?). Oh, and one last thing, the barn belonged to my Dad, and the car is the one I used to race at Mid-Ohio and Nelson's Ledges a couple decades ago. SCCA Improved Touring Sport class. Now that my son is 14 and is going to need a cool car for his senior prom we have dug it out and are making a family project out of it, COOL. I am serious though about asking stupid questions, it's been a lot of years since I've done this. Thanks in advance, Regular Joe
