I dunno...I know it ain't stock, and it's a hack, but it's a fair hack, IMHO.
Why? Because you'd have to make that other motor pretty hysterical in order to achieve the same power you could make with a 100% stock mouse, that would be 100% more reliable.
It all depends if you want a daily driver or not.
A properly restored 240Z would largely be just a ornament.
Besides, sticking hair dryers all over it doesn't exactly warm the hearts of a restorer, and isn't really being faithful to anything...unless than if you save the stock drivetrain for later re-use, if you want to return it to authentic (something harder to do if you were to convert it to V8).
