this sounds like what you have (I bet). someone has taken an old 240 and upgraded parts. I did this with a 240. And its worth doing.

for the price you got, assuming everything is ok, you got a steal, regardless.

the old 240 block was sourced originally from an japanese truck, at least thats what i read. nissan wanted a strong motor and thats what they went with. you can turbo the heck outta that car.. assuming you can find a very rare japanese crossflow head you can get even more hp...
