Engine swap

here are a few links to get you going
https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx...ne-swap-10976/

ZBUM's Z31 300ZX Engine Swap Page

Motorsport! V8 Conversion - The Z Store, Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

I included a link for the s130 parts from motorsports, on the older Z's is pretty much a direct bolt in with all the parts they supply, not sure if any of the parts would be usable in the Z31 swap, Im sure your looking at a fair amount of fabrication. Welcome to the Forums, and good luck on your project !!

Is it a safe assumption that you've never done a motor swap before? Because if you had, I don't think you'd be asking "where do I start?".

A twin turbo V8? Only if you want your body and your car's body in the grave yards...
