subaru differential?
the r160 ring gear has a smaller diameter, which is technically not ideal for high torque and high horsepower applications. my friend dropped the suby r160 into his '70 and he has had no problems. he has been running an L28 with some basic bolt-on mods

Reliable/powerful L24?
do i smell the topic of L28ET coming up??? anyway, like stated before, volumetric efficiency is what it's all about. and as for the motor not making big HP numbers, the 240 isn't a heavy car. HP isn't always the most important thing when it comes to building an awesome car. the 240 is such a well balanced car that adding too much HP "can" ruin it.

Reliable/powerful L24?
you came to the right site, my friend! most of us here hold to the L-series engine (at least that's what i come away with). the l-series engine is one of the best engines (i think i'm on 237K right now and running strong as hell!). the reason that i believe most people get the L28 is for increases displacement. also, if you think about it, nissan has come a long way (as have others) over the years. newer technology usually equals better engineering. anyway, from what i have researched, the l24 is a relatively good motor, especially considering your automotive history ... anyway, there are tons of other folks that can tell ya more! so here they go:
