Alright i am gonna be buying a 240z hopefully soon. I have aways loved the way they look and was checking out prices and realized they are so cheap. I am in CA so i will get one that is pre smog so i can go the V8 route. My questions are, Where can i start when getting the mounts for the V8? I want to go with a manual tranny, so what would you guys recommend. I was kinda thinkin of an IROC camaro or something along that lines, or would an older 4 spd be better? And is a 350 the best one to use, i have the most experience with the chevys and that would be preferable, but if there is a better one i am open to other options what is a rough estimate of putting a motor and trans in, not including the cost of the motor and tranny? Is there any other modifications to the rest of the drivetrain? Like can i use the Z differential, or does that need to be changed to, and how much does the driveshaft need to be modified? If anyone can answer these questions that would be great. i hope to get the car and the motor this year and have it swapped by next year if possible. I will then go with a body kit hopefully fender flares, and then a nice paint job, just keep it clean looking.
