ok so im new to the z` world and i bought a 1970 240z from a guy that bought it in 1978 and still had the clean pink slip from then, i was driving along and the timing broke and now its not working plus i wanted to upgrade everything in the first place so it really was not a big deal so now i want to know the best and easyest swap to do im makeing it a drift car so just keep that in mind, i was thinking of doing a l28et or the n/a one with the 5 speed but im not sure how hard the wireing might be i already have the l24 engine out along with the 4 speed transmission and cleaned everything up and lumed all the wires so im ready for a swap just not sure the easyest way to go and im not a rich man so im triyng to keep it under $2000 cash total so please give me all the info you have and if you have some parts let me know i live in norcal.

What do you mean the timing broke? The timing chain snaped? That doesn't happen often.

For under $2000, a stock L28et is your best bet. It's been done plenty of times. Just do a search on it. You could build a n/a engine but for that budget the turbo swap will get you more power if thats what you are after.

no the bolt that holds the timing sprocket onto the cam came loose and let the cam go free and thats what happend
