Have you ever dreamed of a LS swapped 240sx? Now on craigslist, you can get one. A MID ENGINE’D 240sx! Side note, this LS is a LS4 from a Chevy Monte Carlo SS and even comes caged up in case of snap oversteer. Only 5k! More after the break.

You’ll never see this side of the engine. This has the engine wiring harness directly from the monte carlo. It bewilders me why this was the choice for this S13 owner chose to go. Why compromise the great weight balance of the S13 with a mid engined position?

Rally height I must say...or wannabe gasser? But either way, this is begging for a Rocket Bunny kit....and those wheels look like they came off a Dodge Challenger base ..but that body is pretty clean compared to most S13s....

Mid mounted speedo, yo. And to be true, the SS steering wheel is a lot nicer than the cheapo eBay “JDM” steering wheels most S13 owners rock. And from that key location, there won’t be any ignition problems!

I seriously don’t know what this guy was on/thinking when he decided to create this wonderful monstrosity on Spaghetti monster proportions. But I love it.

There is nothing like buying a frankenstein project from someone who spells “Donor”, “Donar”

I’ve got a hunch that the 8 second eta is an 1/8th-mile run. An 8-second 1/4-mile pass with 300 horsepower is pretty much impossible.

mostly because it appears to be an auto shifter mounted at shoulder height! and if they cant get the shifter right, I have no faith in their custom motor mounts

Those are 1/8 mile times.

Mostly just because it’s an auto shifter.

Aaaaanddd what 300 hp S13s can run 8 second quarter miles?

Zero. 8.42 @ 85 mph with no 330’ and 1/8 mile splits?

Look at these upper shock mounts, it is terrifying to think that thing is driven on the streets!

Death trap

You might be able to do it if it’s just the engine and some wheels. Like a V8 barstool or something.

Oh, snap! Snap oversteer, that is.

That would be a *very* interesting car to take to an SCCA track day.
