Never heard of it being done, but the problem would probably be that the Z32 engine is way too wide to fit in the engine bay of the 240. It's a much heavier engine also, so you'd have to modify the suspension. The 240 driveline couldn't handle the increased power and torque. You'd have to transplant all of the electronic components as well. You'd almost have to put the 240 body on the Z32 frame. It would have an awesome power to weight ratio though. It would be neat to see.
