engine swap options

I need a new engine in my 1985 300zx. My car is NA. Can I swap a vg33? Or should I stick with the vg30 and if so what years can I use? Maybe someone can direct me to a good thread ?

Thanks

There's no difference between VG30E and VG30ET cams for the Z31.

NA Motor

I've got an NA motor if you're looking along with the transmission. Has a brand new clutch as well. PM me if interested. Not sure where you are located.
