Default Bought a new car

Been looking for a Project car. I'm bored and wanted something cheap that I could work on myself and get my hands dirty.

Here's the car, 240 SX bought it for $1200






Engine is seized up on account of being run without oil...
BUT what a coincidence that I have this laying around!!

My stock 5.3L from my truck




Plan is, with a little help from some members I'm gonna bore and stroke it to a 383 and drop it in the little **** box and see how she runs!

Hmm, I wish you lived closer so I could (get in the way) help with it. I wonder how much added weight the LM7 has over the 240z stock engine and how it would affect handling?
Looks like it's going to be a ton of fun finding out.
