sohc swap vs. dohc swap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm going to look at a 240 today, low miles, 3500 bucks, 5spd. coupe driven by a girl, at a dealer in cleveland.

I'm assuming that it will be 89 or 90 sohc, and i am planning on doing the sr swap eventually. I'm wondering if it is worth it to wait and find a dohc car in the first place to save me the trouble of swapping sohc to dohc, or if i should just not worry about it if it's a good deal.

Also if there are any things i should look for on the 240 that i wouldn't think of i'd like to know what those are.
