240sx/350 conversion

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

I may have read a post that said the s14's radiator core is thicker and is better for dissipating heat. I'm not even certain if this is true so don't take it to the bank. Please if someone can verify this i would be appreciative myself seeing how I will b doing this conversion here soon. Thanks in advance

Koyo for SR would be cheap and effective, i'll be reusing mine when i get back around to fitting my LT1.

SR has the rad hose hookups on the right sides for the sbc.
