Not to beat a dead horse on an audio forum (it is the inmate section though... :)), but most of what I've read say the all aluminum LS engines weigh as little or less than the cast iron block straight 6 Datsun motors. Many swaps done, and most state the motor is less, and that you can achieve a 50/50 weight ratio instead of the factory 52/48.
I get your point, nice old classic 240Z, pity to tear it apart. To me though it is just a car. If I had an original collectors car that I liked to drive I'd do so all the time, regardless of what that would do to the value. I buy cars to drive them. Tear apart an old 240Z and throw a great motor in it, why not.

that was OEM in the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. And much shorter. Enabling you to put in power steering. Bigger radiator.FWIW...
Hey! A least we aren't posting about religion or politics.

Now I'm being anal, but the LS1/6 5.7 motors are actually 346CI. Sorry, had to. :) 3.90 x 3.62 vs. the old 350 Chevy motors at 4.00 bore and 3.48 stroke.
They are pretty darn light though, yes sir.
