Message	It's fun having a modded motor, it's more fun having a more powerful drop in replacement, but the most fun comes when you have a motor in there that wasn't even meant to go in that car. Seeing a 2400 lb 240Z with a supercharged small block chevy is my idea of fun. But I live in NJ, and all the 240Z's have long since rusted away. I could get a 240SX, but they're not as light and I like the old school Z's.
