Sorry to throw cold water on this idea, but the Ferrari 328 is a mid-engine design with the engine set 90 degrees relative to the front / rear centerline of the car. You would need to totally reengineer the placement in the engine bay. That would be hard enough, but what are you going to do for a transmission? In the Ferrari 328 the transmission is set beside the engine, behind the cockpit. It would be easier and better in every way to just save your money up for a 328. They are not expensive, as Ferraris go, and would handle, go, stop better too.

View Advert Emissions air hoses wanted for 240Z For a 240Z I need the 2 long air hoses that connect 1) from the back of the air filter housing to the emissions air pump, and 2) from the emissions air pump to the emissions devices that are mounted on the top of the engine. I do not need the very short emissions hoses that go on top of the engine. The hoses I need are numbers 9 and 10 in the attached diagram. Text me at 250-734-3811. Photo appreciated.

View Advert early 240Z coil bracket (only) wanted I need an early 240Z coil bracket only, like the one in the photo. ** I do not need the coil.** It needs to look like the one in the photo and be zinc plated, not yellow chromated. I cannot use the later style coil bracket. If the zinc isn't perfect that's OK, but I would prefer a bracket without much rust. Will pay shipping. If you can't / won't ship to Canada I can give you a US address to ship to. Text me at: 250-734-3811 Thanks! Advertiser M3333hp Date 10/29/2019 Price Category Parts Wanted Year 1970 Model 240Z  

zspert, Understood. Pete

zspert Do you still have those exhaust parts for the 240Z cars? Are they for sale? Not sure whether we can exchange phone numbers, but if yes please reply with your number and I will call you. Thanks! Pete M3333hp

What you want is an early Euro or Canadian balance tube, the one without all the bosses for mounting emissions equipment on. I had a Canadian car, 03778, that had the Euro balance tube, as all the early Canadian cars did. I would guess that maybe the Japanese Fairlady cars had that kind of balance tube also. I had a spare Euro balance tube that I got from the UK a few years ago but sold it. I would try placing want ad notices in those countries. You need persistence and patience. They are very in No America.

I would call the air scoop on the early backing plate an air scoop instead of a baffle. Both early Z cars that I have owned had a scoop on the front brake backing plates. The attached photo shows a front brake of a very early car that I am restoring with a scoop on the backing plate. There are some 240Zs coming out of the woodwork, and in some cases, dirt or mud, now that values have gone way up for the early cars. You might get someone to part with early backing plates of you contact sellers of those early cars. But be aware that the hub and brake disc will have to come off first, and then the (maybe) rusted bolts that hold the backing plate on, before the backing plate can be removed.

Sorry to see how rusty and beat up the car is, especially since it's an early car. The moral we all need to keep in mind: Get someone to look the car over directly. Post the request on here if you don't know anyone nearby. Otherwise, assume the worst.

And now for something completely different.... Looks like the real thing, pretty amazing. Not sure you could do much with it other than display or track it. To the seller's credit he does not make claims for the car beyond that. If a buyer goes that route, the car should be the terror of any Z car track meet it shows up at.
