Godzilla Raceworks<\/a> (GRW) is a company in Fort Worth, Texas specializing in Datsun Z Car parts and performance. So when the owner of this 1972 Datsun 240Z wanted the powertrain from a 280ZX Turbo, they turned to GRW. <\/p>\n

\"1972<\/a><\/p>\n

The company started by rebuilding the turbocharged 2.8 L L28ET<\/a> inline-six. GRW installed a set of 0.04-inch oversized dished pistons in the prepped block. The head received a 5-angle valve job and ARP studs. GRW installed an EGR block off plate, CX Racing 3-inch downpipe, and DNA Motoring 2-row aluminum radiator. Exhaust is routed through a custom 3-inch stainless steel exhaust fabricated by GRW. <\/p>\n

GRW upgraded the fuel system with their Pallnet billet fuel rail<\/a> and a set of Bosch EV6 injectors fed by a Walbro 255 lph pump. Everything is controlled by GRW’s Plug and Play Megasquirt 2 ECU and harness<\/a>. <\/p>\n

GRW rebuilt the BorgWarner T5 five-speed manual transmission with new synchros and billet aluminum shift forks. They completed the powertrain upgrades with a 280ZX Turbo R200 differential braced by Techno Toy Tuning Billet front mount<\/a> and Mustache bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
