Pat,
Any pictures of it? That is a combination I nave considered also...I am even
currently considering it for my BT7 only because it would be significantly
cheaper to get it back on the road and drivable again. It would still sound
right also...straight sixes just sound better...except for a V-12 which after
all
is just two straight sixes :-) Z motors are still plentiful and relatively
inexpensive to rebuild and the Datsun 5 speed is a much sweeter trans than the
Toyota. Interesting thread...

There was a nice 100-Six with a 280-Z motor in it at the last weekend's Gulf
Coast Healey Club (Houston) meeting.
The installation was so clean, if you didn't know what the Healey motor
looked like, you would have thought it was stock.
