weird hood... + 2 holes in it  too!!



That is a Z motor. The L motor is taller. I've seen other L motor swaps  with 
the tall scoop. The last Z motor swap I hear about involved lifting the  
body, installing the engine then putting the body back on. The guy sold it. A  
while later he saw it on a car lot. He asked about it and was told it needed a  
clutch. There was no way to get to the clutch without lifting the body off the  
car. The 240Z motor has 150 HP, same as a Solex 2L.
