My total expenditure on this car including purchase price is 1400 dollars and it's good for 270hp the way it sits which is 110hp more than it had when stock.
It's unbelievably quiet, easy to drive and pretty damn fast with the a 3n71b auto and high stall speed convertor.
I have a L28et F54 block with td06-20g, forged pistons, and a worked P90 head with a good cam on the engine stand in case I want to make 450hp but my goals for this car are different and the extra budget numbers work against the spirit of this project.
I'm still mulling over whether to fit the FS5R30 tranny into this car using the adapter I bought from Austin Hoke at hybridz but that depends on whether the 3n71b being worked on my kitchen table holds up but that will add 600 bucks to the project bottom line.
Sure I could build a 1000hp RB30 with RB26 head but my goal is to use a 1981 engine in a 1991 car running on a 2001 ecu and pass 50 state emissions with it in leather lined comfort with working A/C and power steering.
I can also flash new tunes to this ecu with a vetronix master tech, blue streak iFlash, blue streak global programmer, or a host of other programmer/scan tools without doing anything more than hooking it up to the obdII connector.
Who knows.....maybe the big engine will end up in a 240sx but I would rather try to fit it to a s12.
Anyway .......back to L28et into 240sx.
I would recommend using the fs5w71b tranny over the T-5 and, depending on where the bellhousing sits with stock motor (don't remember), you might get away with using the stock 240sx driveshaft.
If you are using the 280zx turbo automatic, you would either need to fit that tranny specific yoke to the 240sx driveshaft or lengthen the 280zx turbo driveshaft as well as fit the rear u-joint and flange to the lengthened driveshaft since I'm not sure if the 280zx turbo specific flange can be swapped into the short nose r200.
