Look at the weight of that 3000GT. And front wheel drive sucks. all wheel drive VR better even more weight. Nissan question it is possable to install a V-8 in a 240sx. You have to expect about 6 months of fitting removing refitting making a new instrument cluster. About 2 to 3 weeks just to modify the original cars wiring. I own a 2006 Pontiac GTO 6 speed with 6.0 liter V-8. Factory warranty very fast. And everything works. Hot rods like you are thinking about some end up garage projects that never end so don't start unless you really want to spend lots of money and see the project to the end. Then you will find out the rear axle cannot take more than 200 hp.

dude enough with the same questions. i spent over 7 yrs in a radiator shop and i told you what you needed to do to calm the temp down and also told you that 200 degrees is normal. oh, and a 35 year certified mechanic should know that its a 3 row radiator and not a 3 core

Should not be a problem, but check with a radiator shop to be sure. If the radiator cannot circulate enough water to keep the temp at 165 to 185, and it runs to hot, you could have issues. Same if the water temp is too low.

Why don't you contact Griffin? They are an aftermarket co. that has heavy-duty aluminum rads.
I'd otherwise go with the most rad. that you can fit! I'd say, like a '74 Eldo rad. that cooled a 500 ci beast!

if its a stock engine a 3 core will cool it good,,as you know a 4 core is always better,,but i f you have air conditioning on it,,and use it a lot,,you may want to go to a 4 core,,i have a 4 core on mine,,and i have never had any trouble with over heating,,a 3 core will do a good job though,,you can at least try it,,and i t may cool it good,,i hope this helps,,i own a repair shop in Tennessee,,good luck with it.

if it is still getting hot , better recheck the head gaskets.
because that rad. should keep it very cool
