2003 MSP to 1971 240Z

Nice! I've got a 260Z sitting in the driveway right now. I've got two motorswaps to finish before I get a chance to rebuild it. I've got a L28, 280ZX 5 speed, and R200 rear diff ready to install. The previous owner had already swapped to the SU carbs. so I'll be using them on the L28 block. I've heard the SU carbs need to be reworked a little to fuel the L28 at higher RPMs. From the looks of the dyno run they are getting plenty of fuel to your motor. I'm guessing its an original L24?

Here is a picture of mine. Ignore the color it won't be that ugly purple for long.

WOW that's so nice. I had a buddy that had a 240 drag car, 11s flat on stock block with built studed head and 150 shot. I got to run it a few times with out the shot. That damn thing was mean, but it wasn't street legal and didn't look near as good. GOOD TRADE!
