What replaced it? Engine bay in those things will accept almost anything.

I'm actually not entirely sure, the engine is a remnant of my boss's old business, he used to do Z cars in a big way, now he's moved into bmw's.

I have a friend who may be interested and can pick up. He's kind of a purist and wanted to keep his 240z a 2.4l but I may be able to change his mind.

Plus he's about to drive my bridge ported 13B engined RX-7. I got over being a purist quite some time ago...

Not if you add enough chrome John, if you gold plate all the bolt heads it idles like this:

Bizz-nizzle-shim-tizzle-gim-gim-gizzle.

Don't even ask about anodized aluminum... it gets way crazy.

Knurled, show your friend the way, he can always install the OG engine years down the road.

I told my friend about it and he's all, hmm, i don't know if I want to spend that kind of money. Hey look an Impulse six states away for $2500, perfect another car that I can sit and look at because it doesn't run!

(PS - I know he's reading this.)
