this is an actual question

Has anyone swapped a 7M-GTE into a S30?
Does anybody know the difficulty, what needs to be modified, or any tips to do this swap?

I have a friend who wants to do it and i cant find any write ups about it.

Any info would be great, thanks.

its ALL been done. your going to need a good fabricator to make custom mounts for the motor and tranny and intercooler piping and driveshaft and exhaust after that its just wiring in the ECU as long as you remove the EFI harness its just finding what wires need constant power start signal and on signal for the relays to kick properly. to to big of a deal but will cost $$$$$$$$$

Yeah it was super cool. I wanted to ask if anyone has seen the 370z yet? I am going to the car show next week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and it will be there. I tried to cut and paste a picture here but it didn't work. Here is the link. http://sfautoshow.com/gallery-new.asp
I wonder how many horsepower it has? I still like the 240 best. :-)
