Dizam... how the hell did he manage to fit a Chevy 350 & T-56 into a little Z-car? Probably has to lift the motor out of the car to change the sparkplugs. Talk about a good power/weight ratio... that thing must really get up and move.

Dude, the 240Z engine compartment is about 60% LARGER than your Mustang. Those things came with massive V6's in 'em. Plenty of room, that car was like 50% hood.

Oh, and they're not light... like 3500lbs IIRC.

Actually they came with 2.4 liter inline six's. Thats the size of a cavelier engine. But you are right, the engine compartment is huge for a car its size.

Oops... yeah, inline 6. My friend at my old job had an EFI 240Z... that thing was massive (for such a small car).

That'd be a mean auto-x car if you could get some decent suspension upgrades in it... actually, I'd love to see a MR2 w/ a V8... muhahaha!
