I had a '72 240z once and the carbs should match up just fine(CFM wise as the 
240 boasted 150HP from a 150cubic inch block at about 5800RPM(I believe) in a 
7000RPM redline stock engine). I saw a B2000 engine once and I could have sworn 
the carbs used in it were identical SU types as that of my 240z. I prefer the 
SU's over Strombergs. I had a friend that had a '73 240 and that year model had 
the Zenith/Strombergs. He had lots of problems with his carbs. His problems 
with the Strombergs may have arisen from all the polution crap hangin off the 
carbs though. I assume the 4 bolt pattern will match up to your manifold but 
maybe not. Good luck.
