Has anyone ever considered or known someone who replaced their engine with a 240Z power plant? Can it be done? I've got a chance to get the engine and tranny pretty reasonable but need advice on if it is worth the hassle!

Anything is possible with a welder :)

The 240 had a 6cyl right?  The L16 is a tight fit in the 320, so I don't see you being able to put a 6 in the 320.  For that much work, I'd drop a newer, nicer 4cyl in it :)
