1970 240Z survivor on Hemmings Auctions
That's not correct then. The acc pedal only controles the butterfly valve, nothing more. So basically you control the " air valve ". The throttle valve is vacuum operated.

240z values - 4 speed vs 5 speed
Maybe they did it because of fuel economy bragging ? Or just did not bother to give americans a 5 speed

240z values - 4 speed vs 5 speed
I like the long ratio of the US 4 speed, but it really is lacking an extra gear, to drive at higher speeds without going high in rpms ( more engine wear ) or the reach a higher top speed. At the time in the US it would have been enough. At least it's a long ratio 4 speed with low gearing diff, so 120/140km/h it's still acceptable on the motorway to come along with modern traffic. I hate that it doesn't have a 5 speed, but then again I'm thinking to myself just keep it original US spec, i;m fine with it.

Mystified in converting to electric fuel pump
If you don't have the correct spacer, the mechanical fuel pump will destroy itself. There should not be any problem with mechanical fuel pumps

Bought a 67 chevelle 383 stroker for a friend of mine ,from Michigan, Jackson, it's going to be shipped coming weeks. He wanted 18k but reserve was not met on Ebay ( 13 ), I offered him 15k, eventually he came around. Hope it all works out, it remains risky transfering alot of money overseas, without meeting the actual person. I asked as much information as I could, and let him sign the bill of sale and a copy of the title, and their adress checked etc, called a few times also.

Machining cylinder head for more compression?
I found this with google not sure if it's correct: The E30 did in fact come on certain models of the L20A. They have a closed combustion chamber just like the E31, so they allow you to have higher compress just like the E31, and use small ports and valves. They are built on the same basic casting as an E31, so the ports can be hogged out just as far as the E31's, and they can also be machined to accomondate bigger valves.

Machining cylinder head for more compression?
No problem. Just depends on what you want though. Maybe its better suited for someone who is doing an early 240 restoration and needs the correct E31 head for it. It's not lying in my way anyhow. I intend to keep it as a spare because by that time in the future they are even harder to come by. I am willing to sell it to a fellow z enthusiast, but i'm not santa claus

Endurotec +060 Pistons Set Of 6 suits Nissan L26 | eBay You need at least change the piston's to higher quality ones, that raise your compression. A big cam and weber carb setup is a must if you want to have some power from it. You could also lighten the flywheel and some good headers are needed. Then offcourse the head..

Yes, I have an E31 if you want. It's ready to bolt on. It's not lying in my way though, was planning to use it as a spare part

Found 2 240Z's
sounds like a very good deal to me. They will have rust on the floorboards and the usual places, but not to bad looking at the pictures. Look at the driver side door tag so see the build date and if the engine and chassic number might match.
