This in mind, why design mounts to fit random V8's when the most popular, best choice is the LSx series?
Why install an older, sloppy engine with outdated technology and poor efficiency?

because i have 2 240sx's and both are 95's and both se 5 lug cars...One i am doing a clean ka24de build on because i have a complete ka24de 5spd swap i am going to put in one (the 240 thats in really good condition) to familiarize myself with 240s in general so i can expand my knowledge on the chassis and wiring before i buy a swap. The gold/willow pearl 240 which is in rougher condition will be getting a old small block 400 put in it just for kicks and giggles becuase my dad can build bad ass sbc engines.

Sell the 400 to some old head who thinks they are magical for a ton of money, go out and
get a carb and intake for a 5.3 (the 5.3's are like 150-300 dollars from a junkyard), and rock out.
Trust me...it took me a while to see the light too.

I am just using what i got in my possession. i personally do not like the new ls engines.
