What would be better for your 83 280zx a 2jz from a supra or a 350 or some other v8?
Well, a 2jz is a cheap engine to upgrade, you can sell one of
the twin turboes and upgrade it, have a smaller one spolling at
lower rpm and the bigger at higher, and u lose boost lag. making
the engine a beast. i think in torch the v8s will have you, but at
the cost of racing fuel and a lot more investment. 280zx is a
tuner, regardless of its looks or characteristics. so i would stick
with import and go with the 2jz, its a sick engine, and u can get a
good 25 mpg out out it with 4-600 hp
