engine swap

just bought a 85 300zx na with a seized engine, i'm looking to get a used engine from a junk yard but wanted to know if an engine from an 87 to 89 300zx will bolt up to my 5 speed manual transmission on my 85? and will the engine be a direct fit?

Yes, any Z31 (84-89) NA engine should bolt right up with little problem. If you get a turbo engine, there are other parts you need to turbo a Z31, but that is doable too. All you need are the turbo specific parts of a turbo junk and they bolt right on the NA.

This web site has all you need about the differences between model years and NA vs Turbo.
