Does anyone have advice on refurbishing a 240z heater box? Are there replacement parts available for the foam seals/gaskets?

Thanks

I bought the foam from my local upholstery supply shop. Cut to fit.

Which heater box are you referring to, the box with the heater core in it along with all it's stuff, or the blower motor and the box it's connected to. I'm in the process of redoing that entire section of the car and did the same thing as a7dz. bought foam from an upholstery shop. Not sure just how different the 240 is from the 260.

Do yourself a favor and install the 91 Civic blower motor upgrade. It bolts in and fits exactly, though you will want to paint part of the back of it black. It took no time at all, and was the easiest upgrade I have ever done. Made a huge difference in my 240z. Moves much more air!

Is there a write-up of the swap for that motor?

Do a search - I did Honda fan and had several hits. Here's one you may like

Not sure why you're asking since this thread is about a 240Z heater box and the later advice concerns a Honda to 240Z fan conversion. Since you have a 280Z, that's a slightly different kettle of fish. Here's a write up on putting a 92 Civic fan in a 76 280Z but this is an upgrade of questionable necessity IMO since the 280Z fan is already basically an upgrade over a 240Z fan, performance wise. Problem there is that a 280Z fan won't fit a 240Z housing.
