I have a 1992 nissan 240 sx convertable that has an imaculate body and interior.. The timing chain is bad and the nissan dealer wants $3K for a replacement engine.. I'm an old hot rodder.. Is there anything that could swap (V8) or other?

Dump a new Cam & Timing Kit into it & GO!!! That's a keeper that should be kept Original even if U have to pull one from a "Yard" somewhere & build it!

sorry, not meaning to be rude, but do yo mean muscle car guy instead? a hotrodder would just get an available small block and make it fit ;) to me, there's a difference between hotrodders and musclecar guys. hotrodders build from scratch, musclecar guys restore. both equally skilled mechanics in their own rights, just different branches of the same tree. that being said, i'm a musclecar guy myself for the most part ;) i would think that a chevy or ford small block would be a tight fit, kinda like in the 240/260/280 zx cars. i bet a chevy 4.3 would fit nicely! and it'd make great power for such a small car ;) well, good luck on the project. hope i didn't offend too much.

http://www.powertrainproducts.net/Engines-c2.html hear is the engine you need. Since you are an old hot rodder you can swap it yourself. Maybe you will get some off with the core return. Good Luck
