An unaltered 72 looks nice. But 32,000 nice? What do you think?1972 Datsun 240Z.html

1.92.9 near Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Spotted a rebuilt one on Ausin Tx. CL. 200.00 asking price.

Oh.Yea

Oh what fun it is to tear down old rusty u-joints! What a PITA! Can;t even get the clips off without using the torch. I think I;d rather remove spindle pins. Merry Christmas, John

I believe that the stock flasher unit is heat operated. You would need one for LED. Threads on this site will give you more info.

Crank shaft bolt must be removed to remove 3rd pulley.

Photo's?

Do you think new poly bushings are better than the PO's finely crafted duct tape version? Sorry I should have gotten pictures.

Well I did the road trip and bought the 79,280 engine and tranny. Transmission appears to be early 79. O.K. for my stock 72, 180 rear end?

I think satin is the way to go. Looks good.

Thank You, for sharing your knowledge guy's. Looks like a road trip tomorrow!

Hi all, My 240 engine needs work, I found a low mileage 79, 280 engine with N-47 head and tranny. What am I looking at to do this transplant? I'll be using S.U.'s I want to be clear on what I may need for parts or change's I need to do. Thanks, John

For the short term, I would shop for a good running engine.

I agree with Jeff, clumsy, appearing as post would quick to navigate.

Good for you! Down load the service manual from CZCC, study this site. 99.99% of questions can be found in these threads or members will help you with problems Take your time to do it right. Your Z has been in your family from day one. It's a treasure that you can't replace and you could enjoy your entire life. Have Fun, John

A dream Z, gone to a good home. Can't wait to see it's build progress.

Pictures would help us Chuck.

I thought it would be a good idea to replace my water pump while the engine was out, but NOOO! Two bolts broke, the 12mm at 7 o'clock, and the 10mm at 10 o'clock. With a broken thermostat bolt I think I now have the complete set.

There are many insane asking prices for parts on e-bay also.

I have one in each of my barns ( cats can't get to them). they work great.
