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.

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