The dumbass probably took out the independant rear suspension and replaced it with a Ford 9 inch!
Once I had a guy waste half an hour telling me about the Z-car he built with a small block Chevy and Ford 9 inch rear end. I just looked at him and said, "Why?"

For a street car, why indeed. But for drag racing, the 9" is an easy wasy to "be sure" you got a strong enough diff. That white 1200 sedan in Portland has a Ford 9" rear diff. But he did have to get custom axles IIRC, cause the stock Ford axles had problems with all the torque of that 1200.

True, but the 1200 was a live axle car to begin with. For the 240 Z, the later 300ZX R-200 rear end could probably handle the torque of a small block and then it would still be independant rear suspension. That's my complaint, switching to a live axle in a Z-car. Well, that and using a chevy engine for anything but a boat anchor!

"BAD 240" is spot on. I hate it. Anyone who sticks either a V8 or auto in a 240Z should have their car confiscated. And this bloke has done both. And he's cut a hole in the bonnet! Sacralidge! Someone give this bloke a Torana quick... And then there's the god-awful wheels...And the rear wing...urrgghhh! I can't look anymore...

Whats wrong with putting a beefy straight 6 with an exotic 6 speed manual, just to be different.

Best sounding road car: There used to be a yellow 300ZX in town with an ex-race jet sprint small block chev with that wonderful gear drive whine and sharp cammy exhaust note. By god it could move too!
Apparently the guy put the original engine back in because he was sick of welding the body up after cracked!

As for the 240Z, I agree I don't like it, but I do like modified cars and as long as the workmanship is good and the guy has done the work himself who are we to judge.

Reminds me of a saying I heard once, "Any back yard mechanic can restore a car but it takes real skill to cut one up"

Get it?
