kyteler Posted January 21, 2004 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2004 Check HybirdZ.org for the best advice on a powerplant change.I'd personally go for an L28ET to get lots more power and it not cost anywhere near as much as a complete conversion.But if you're going to go the whole hog, as it were, a supercharged chev would haul some serious arse.Or stay with Nissan and RB26 the sucker, or Quad cam Nissan alloy V8 it.There's lots of options because of the large engine bay on a Z, but as I said at the start, your best bet would be to check out HybridZ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9815-best-engine-for-240-z/#findComment-65100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted January 21, 2004 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2004 I have no idea what your uncles car is but are you sure there's no way you could beat him in the corners the Z can be quite a weapon once set up right.Gav,Originally posted by zpictor i want to push a lot of power so i can beat my uncles 360 modena in the quarter mile there aint no way i can get him in the turns but the strait i think i could get him with the proper application to the 240 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9815-best-engine-for-240-z/#findComment-65136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Dezart Posted January 21, 2004 Share #12 Posted January 21, 2004 zpictor - it's a 360 Ferrari Modena not Modina - after the place in Italy !5000 dollars might get you an engine but grow up and face realities - if you want to stop and steer, it's going to cost you a whole lot more !If you just want to outrun him in a straight line, build a dragster ! Zeds are for taking corners too !I 've seriously pi**ed off a 328 owner but he had more power than me ...then !
