i was toying with the idea of swapping in a different motor, not much of a v8 kinda guy, i was thinking maybe VG30DETT, or 2JZ, i don't know what i want to do yet.

I didn't know these cars came with V8's... but I guess I don't know much about 1970's foreign cars.

yeah i thought it was a steal for $1500,

oh and rob, it didn't come with the V8, it was swaped in, the 280z came with a 2.8 liter inline 6 with mechanical fuel injection.

Black-

Cool old Z car! I used to work on my friend's 73 240 (original) and helped throw a small block chevy and T-5 in a 76 260 just like yours. Great little cars! I wish I could find a nice clean one to restore someday.

Good luck with it!

wow, i think that would be too much power, when i shift the car 1st to 2nd and to 3rd, it squeaks the tires and the backend jumps out a little, i can't imagine this car with a big block.

You sir, are lucky just for having a 1970's Z-car that isn't rusted to all hell.

I'm sure the V8 doesn't hurt at all either.
