there are only 2 ways to V8 a 240sx.
Cheap way: "new" old school 1-piece rear seal chevy block or similar year ford roller blocks (89+), carb or TPI or mpfi on the factory ECU with a self-tuned chip, hypereutectic piston or stock bottom end, pick a transmission and make 300-350 horsepower
Proper way: LS-x nuff said
pros and cons of each.
Cheap way is cheap, if fuel infected you get 25+mpg too. 300 horses nothing to sneeze at. Lots of aftermarket support that is very cheap. cheap cheap cheap. Cons? Poor efficiency. Old designs. slow computer. batch fire. tune it yourself or it's waste of time and money.
LS-pros / cons. More expensive but you get technology, efficiency, ls edit, new designs and the potential for more than just 300 horses on a factory bottom end.
I've done the cheap way before. Blower/carb. TPI. Holley stealth ram. Twin Turbo small block.
In the end, I came to appreciate the simplicity of the Nissan sr20det.
