go to the nicoclub dot com forums. they have alot of right ups and pictures for a 240sx 5.0 swap. bout to get mine done.
we have a aero front end fox that weighs 2563 with a 15lbs nitrous bottle, a ~150lbs guy and 30lbs worth of weight bars over the rear end at the shop has a 532 in it . . .
what about the mustang i think they where mid 70's? a couple of my friends had them in highschool. i think they where 76 and 77? im not sure on the weight, but they where pretty small for a stang.
I'm thinking the Mustang II's clock in at around 2800lbs in full street trim with a 302, so you figure dumping all the junk you don't need like passenger seats you can easily get rid of some quick weight
5.0L in a 240 would be fun... the 240's are great cars that unfortunately got stuck with a pos engine...
The thing is, they're so highly regarded because of their nearly even weight distribution. Put a big heavy V8 up front though and they become as useless as any other import.
that's probably why it's so popular to drop a 350 Chevy motor in since it sits back a little further it keeps the power train weight toward the middle. Don't know for sure since I don't fool with 240s or Chevies.
Miata I hear they make a kit to drop a 302 V8 right into a Miata. The FFR Cobra kit is nice as well, but alot more $$$ than a used Miata.
Yes, but they also make kits to drop a LSX into a miata. Why waste time with a 302 that puts out 225hp when you can have a LS1 that weighs less put down 400 at the wheels with minor bolt ons. BTW a 351 will NOT fit into a miata.
