1984 300zx engine swap (VG30DE)

im looking at either putting
VG30 DE DOHC Engine & Manual 5 Speed Transmission 90-96 - Engine & Transmission - Nissan & Infiniti
or
VG30 DET DOHC Engine & Manual 5 Speed Transmission 90-95
and i was wondering if there's any modifications i would have to do to throw either one of these in it.
and yes i have looked around on the internet and no i cant find any threads on either of these 2 motors. unless i'm blind lol

Lots of info about the VG30DE and VG30DETT swap into a Z31... but as with any motor swap, "difficulty" depends on your experience, and bank account balance.

they don't just "drop in" if that is what your are thinking.

For the sake of swapping and wiring, they are virtually the same thing.
