I'm going to ignore the fact that single cam and dohc engines have nothing to do with displacement. Its people like this that are beginning to make me ashamed to own a 240sx, as it is fastly approaching civic-status. It's sad because 240's are great nimble little cars, they're incredibly well balanced, but hardly fit in stock form to be the weapon of choice for "real drag racers".
If you want to drag race, get a Mustang, it has what drag racing necessitates, a solid rear axle and a big engine up front. Don't waste time, effort, and money converting a car meant to take the twisties at a good pace into a straight line terror, it will cost more than its worth.
I'm a Ford fan, and a 240 would never have ran a Mustang. I have done an LS swap on my 89 S13 and a 5.0 swap on my S14 for the same reason - Nissan don't have the power, and they never will have...
