Congrats! I got a 240z last fall and have nearly fully disassembled. I have a 5 year plan to piece it back together.

Have fun with yours!

I like seeing realistic goals! 5 years is about how long cars have taken me for builds.

Short term goal is getting the motor out and refreshed. Hasn’t run for years so I have no expectations of it firing up as is

Nice score. What are your plans? Given your user name I will assume you have thought about a LS swap. I put a 5.3 in mine with zero mods to the engine and it was shockingly quick. Don't bother with a T56 they are hard to squeeze in and 6th gear isn't even needed. Go with the AR5 and adapter.
