In 2011, the engine inside the “Gimlet” was tired. The owner, Kevin, wanted to keep the 2.4L block that came with his 240z so we built a 2.7L using his existing block. This is a Rebello specialty for customers that want to keep their L24 block.
The engine/transmission were removed and prepped:
We installed a JWT aluminum flywheel and HD clutch:
Engine re-assembly time!
The triple Webers were re-jetted for the 2.7L:
A new tach tach adaptor so his tachometer would work with new ignition items like the MSD box:
We bring up this build from 2011 because we recently saw Kevin for the first time and in the 5 years that’s elapsed he put 3500 miles on the Z. C’mon Kev, you gotta Enjoy The Ride and put some real miles on her! Here is the 2.7L all buttoned up and back in the Gimlet:
This time we refreshed the clutch hydraulics, fixed a couple of things in the suspension and performed an alignment. Long Live The Z!
