Just bought a project car...

Well guys, i ain't gonna put no money into my civic anymore, change of plans. I am gonna keep it stock as my daily driver. I bought a nice project car tho...a 1972 Datsun 240z. I either gonn drop in a Turbo L28 from a 2nd gen 280zx, build the current L24 motor up, or if i have money...a GM LS1 swap. We'll see tho, gonna work on the body first. Just wanted to share the news on my new baby [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

i just bought a winter beater (1990 Civic HB) and a week later I have clear corners, coil overs, and KYB shocks for it. I figure that it is a great little car, the body is super solid, and a sweet engine will drop right in. But I am still working on my 2001. Good luck with your project.

LS1 is doable, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, just do that unless you can afford and drop in the rb26dett and stay with Nissan engines
