Marcellus, little bit outside Syracuse but i just say Syracuse because no one knows where Marcellus is.
As far as plans for the 240, I bought the car with 88k on it in fine mechanical condition but it needed some body work and the exhaust was almost falling off. So within the past few weeks I repainted it and ordered a new exhaust system (kept gettting pulled over by Amherst PD). So for right now i will probably just throw some coilovers on it, drive it, and learn to drift a little bit on the stock KA. Long term plans are leaning towards an RB? maybe, although im not sure so any opinions/advice are appreciated. Im a bit of a No0b on nissans (raised on chevys, fords, and american V8s lol)

Well if you were raised on those then do what you know best and put a V8 in it. :tup:

Nice, I’m very familiar with that area. I grew up in Amherst, then moved out here after college and lived in Camillus for a year before moving closer to downtown Syracuse. So did you attend Marcellus HS then?

IF only i had the time, money, tech skills/knowledge, to pull the 5.7L hemi out of my charger, drop it in the 240, then get a bigger engine for the charger. but yea an LS swap has crossed my mind a few times. If i come accross one for a relatively good price i just may have to go that route.

Yeah Camillus is a nice area. One of my good friends used to live in Marcellus, just down the street from the school. We used to ride a bit together while we both had our bikes, his was a nice Aprilia.

Coincidence, i was just searching around for engines and found what i believe is an LQ4 for sale, from a 1999/'00 with cast iron heads but its $2000. There’s so many options its hard to decided, regardless I better start saving my poor little college boy pennys lol

Start saving. There’s a ton of knowledgeable people on here when it comes to LS based motors. Just gotta be careful who would tune it, might have to make a trip to Rochester.

Ah yes great little road to ride around on. Can get a little hairy with the tar snakes and gravel in certain areas but still a fun and scenic short ride.
