Probably like $2200, they pulled the engine auto trans full car wiring harness and ECU, driveline and rear end. I don't think wiring would be that bad, typically Nissan uses the upper EFI harness straight to the ECU and then you adapt your lower harness like a RB swap. It's from a 1992 Oddball sedan only had 76,000km on it, or I guess about 47,000 miles. I didn't understand why all the big motor stuff was getting scrapped, but premium was almost $5 a gallon when I was over there in March makes it easier to understand.

 

it wouldnt be that hard to wire.

and that is a huge motor it will be hard to fit in a pushrod v8 is much smaller

 

Too big because its DOHC right? Hood clearence issues....Screw that! Me no wanty a cowl induction hood.

 

It's been done somewhere I know it fits, one of our customers wants to do the swap but I'm not sure if he'll come thru with the cash or not.

 

Catharsis, your right and your wrong. but its alright. my bad and I"m sorry to the person who is ever doing the chevy v8 swap into his 240. I'm sorry so dude with the chevy v8 swap into the 240sx sorry. do what you want just don't get it tho.. there are so many good engines for the 240sx. ka24det,sr20det,ca18det,rb and the vg. but hey if you want chevy v8 then hey its cool and i'm sorry.

 

Lets all hold hands and sing Kumbaya

 

hahhaa okay.

 

Coooo....Three chears for Woring.... HIP HIP.....

 

im sorry to all you guys that want to keep a 240 a 240 but i like the idea of taking the awsome handling of a japenese car and putting the power of an american motor behind it

 

Dude gimme an ls1 and a vortec supercharger and ill toss my KA like im in the olympics. Dude i like nissan power as much as anyone, but you cant beat 5.7 liters of force fed fury. I dare you to try. I love my KA as well. Its just a matter of preference. I would much rather have a VG30DETT under my 240's hood though.

 

I would like to do a Q swap, but I dont know about the tranny thing. I dont really want to go through the hassle for a slushbox...... just seems like a waste. I was at a local yard a week ago and I couldnt find one of those engines, both of the Q's they had were gutted. along with the brakes being gone, thats what I was really after.
if a 300ZX tranny would bolt up to it I would be very very interested in doing it, but I never looked at the bellhousings close enough to see what the differences are.

 

pretty sure this is the vq45de..cant remeber..just had the pic..if not its a toyota motor but its one or the other..



i had a a pic of both but this is the only one i could find

 

Wow...

 

i would so bone that car! lol... i want that motor in my 240. looks pretty mean. Who cares if its a slushbox, with that much power and so little weight, you could smoke with the best of em.

 

If only I could find front clips of these things....Like an Ls-1...Anyone know where I could get one? Or at least price one.
