I love S14's but I wouldn't pick up any car that is already modded pretty heavily.

I'd keep the SC and mod it your way, a way that defines your style, not some other guy's style.

You also have all the parts as well, so the choice seems pretty obvious to me, IMO.

man let me tell you aluminum blocks (sr20det) will never ever hold what an iron 2jz can hold stay with your SC its an overall car... sporty,luxury, and a lot more smoother than any s13-14-15- out there plus there is no engine out there thats going to give you what a 2jz offers you.... you know you want to keep that SC man thats the way to go.. just my opinion...

^^^what? you sir need glasses! Kouki s14's with any origin kit are the sexiest things on earth. However, 240's are too common, id swap the sc. It'd be too hard of a decision for me, id flip a coin and be happy either way

Oh I won't deny that, but those conversions in my opinion are pretty horrid compared to either the s14 zenki, kouki, or the s15. Maybe you just misunderstood me saying s14.5 since this isn't a Nissan forum or anything haha

Keep your SC, I like 240's owned a few, one with a SR but I would keep your SC and do the swap. 240's are played out now, I still like them though, I'm not gonna hate on a car cause of it's owners. Your SC looks alot nice with the drop and the wheels. Then the 240 that has all that work in it.
