1971 Datsun 240 Z High Performance Small Block Conversion Project on 2040-cars
McHenry, Illinois, United States
|
I purchased this car last year, and had it shipped from calf. The conversion was done years ago, and done very well. This engine is very strong, and the car is very fast. The interior as well as the wiring were a nightmare. After driving the car a while,Ii decided to pull the main section of the interior and the original 240 wiring. I believe the car's entire history was in calf. I've yet to find any rust. I have started accumulating items to finish the car.( Painless 12 circuit wiring harness, new hood ,fiberglass hood cowl , gauge cluster, Acura leather seats, ) There are thousands of dollars of reciepts in a notebook as well as a build sheet that describes the engine as follows : 350 small block 4.065 bore,4 bolt main, ARP main bolt set,TRW flat top pistons,Lunati 288 degrees hydraulic camshaft,Speedpro bearings and lifters,Holly Contender intake manifold,Holly 750 double pumper carb,350 turbo trans, R200 lsd rear end with 3.73 gears. the list goes on and on.This engine is the real deal and this 240 is in terrific condition Other noteables, the car has a good head liner, dash-cap, new mastercyclinder,upgrade rotors, headers,16" wheels.I believe putting this together is not that big of a project, but I dont have any time. I do have time to answer any questions or text though. 815-245-6708, Thanks, Bill |

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
