Those 240s are great driving cars. Many happy memories with ours.

Off topic a little but consider the stock air dam from the SE model and/or starting the undertray at the front, going all the way back.

+1 on cleaning up what's there to start. Mirrors, antenna, rear wiper delete if you have it, smooth front wheel covers, rear skirts. You'll probably do these with a rear cone anyway.

The big, inefficient, low geared truck based motor is really working against you no matter what you do aerodynamically. The chassis/body on these is a great starting point for a RWD car however.
