Few techy questions

Hey all
First, I myself don't own a 240, but my neighbor does and it's a pretty sweet car
Now, to the questions; 1) is the 240 full frame or a combo of unibody and subframe? 2) what are the general dimensions of the rear clip (if it is a uni/frame combo)?

In case you are wondering...I am going to be doing a first; RWD drive Maxima, debating whether to drop a V8 or a T/A 3.8L aluminum block (boreable up to 4.00", replica of the GNX). I am going to need a frame however to convert, and I'm hoping that a 240 will make my life easier. Anything else I should know about the rear end specifically would be nice too!

And before asked...yes, I did post this on a maxima forum, but they just flamed me for asking a few questions...Thanx guys. Will try and snap a pick of my neighbors ride.

The 240sx uses a unibody and a rear sub-frame. Which, I do not believe will be even remotely close enough to work in the rear of a Maxima.
