I'm considering a V8 swap in my 1995 240SX, just looking for some advice on what front suspension to run and what to do about running a true dual exhaust. If anyone who has done a V8 swap, or anyone with pertinent knowledge could reply, I would appreciate it.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit and some KYB AGX shocks, and was wondering if these would still work with the added weight in the front.

Thanks all.

I have seen a LT1 in a S14 and S13. The shifter actually lined up in the S13 I seen.

ive done a ford 302 in a 1972 datsun PU? but the shocks wouls work i think but your front springs might be a little compressed at a stand still and be pretty bouncy i think, we had t put some toyota truck front shocks on our truck cuz the weight diff.

The 302 is actually what I'm thinking about for my 240. Do you have any recommendations as to what would be a good front suspension setup in my situation?

I'm thinking that if I relocate my battery to the trunk and do some other things under the hood to save weight that the 302 wouldn't weigh much more than a turbo 4-cylinder or a Nissan V6, but I could be way off...
