I have built three Datsun Z's with small block chevys. A 240Z, a 280Z and my latest was a 280ZX. The 240Z requires a rear end update to a 280Z rear. The 280Z R200 rear will handle close to 500hp, provided you are not running slicks. With slicks it requires modifications using 300ZX half shafts.
Here are some pics of my 280ZX.

I'm seeing more and more of these type builds lately, American drivetrains in Jap vehicles. There is a guy on S10planet.com who has built several RX7's with turbo's Chevy 4.3's. There is kid at school with my son running a Chevy 400 small block in Toyota Tacoma.
Way back in 1988 we went out to visit a friend of mine who was the National Parts Manager at Shelby Automobiles. He took us to an unreal car dealership that only had muscle cars and other killer stuff. In the showroom there was a Porsche 911 that had a Chevy 427 where the back seat used to be. I asked it it came with ear protection. It didn't.
One day at Cecil County Dragway the racing was temporarily halted for a brief rain so we went over to watch the mud hops. There was another out of place 427 there. It was in a Suzuki Samurai. Man, it is amazing what you can do with just the right mix of money and insanity.

Do a search for "Miata Monster" We had one in the shop that I worked at, F'ing scary!!
Hey now the guys that build the real tuners build some FAST cars.... and thats usually with 4 and 6 cyl engines.
I like both of those cars cause it's something different, and I like different.
I have respect for a fast anything.

I used to have a 280z til someone in a jeep ran it over:angry7:
when I had it I was looking for some way to desecrate it and ran acros this. the 340 would probably handle better and have better balance. he calls it a 440Z

The 240Z/sbc combo was originally called a 'Scarab'.

Whoa there travelocity Gnome! slow down on the beer your spelling is suffering! aparently your reading ability as well. I didn't claim this was mine.
I did well on mine. the insurance paid approx. $2300.00 for the car and then I junked it out as a gross polluter for another $1000.00 can't have been too much a piece of junk.
tell us the story of the great (1964 Plymouth) Pumpkin, Charley Brown!
