just a thought.
That isn't exactly true.

The R230 from the Z32 TT will take the power pretty reliably, and likely the Q45 based R200 rear end as well with the larger output shafts.

However the vast majority of the 240sxes out there are running a R200 with the weaker output shafts and axles. Sure you might be able to run fast on it once or twice, but in the end that would be a ticking time bomb.

IMO the Ford 8.8 as others have mentioned is probably the best bet if he plans to stick to drag racing it.

As for the trans Tim is right a standard domestic trans with an adapter kit would likely work best, however if the motor is rotating in a non-standard way then I'm not really sure it would work.
