Hi all, I'm thinking about an engine swap for my 240Z (thought about it for years for the 260 too but never did it) but I don't really know what to go for or what budget to think about. Let's assume I'll have go and pay someone to do the work - I can help but as soon as I go away from carbs I'm out of my depth. To be honest I'm not as fit and strong as I used to be either. I'm not looking for mental amounts of power but an everyday reliable motor with about 300 brake would do the trick. So, do I... (i) Convert my carbed L28 with F54 block and P90 head to an injected turbo? I already have a turbo exhaust manifold in my goodie collection which is a start I suppose. (ii) Put in a VQ35. It's a Nissan, 6 cylinders, relatively plentiful and affordable. Not far shy of 300 brake in stock N/A form. (iii) Put in a turbo 1JZ or 2JZ Toyota lump. Easy 300 horses with many more available should I go that route in the future. (iv) Put in a small block Chevy V8. Been done a thousand times, lots of power, great sound, scary mpg. I suppose the advantage of strapping a turbo onto the motor I've already got (that would have had one in its' previous life) is simplicity. I can stick to the ZX gearbox I've got for a start. But, if I decided I wanted to go the swap route how much should I budget? The VQ, JZ or Chevy routes need gearbox swaps too. And can anyone recommend someone to do the job? Can anyone on here local to Essex to do it? All advice and thoughts welcome! Tony
