I know the engine from the 300ZX turbo will fit right into may max. I've been over this with my mechanic. I now have the chance to get one of these engines at a great price. What else will I need to get this done right?

Short answer: It's a waste of money, don't do it.

Medium answer: It's a waste of money, don't do it. Do a search if you want to know why.

Long answer: It's a waste of money, dont do it. The 300ZX engine is too wide to fit without a ton of custom fab work, not to mention its for an RWD car. Not sure how you plan on getting around that obstacle. It would be cheaper to just buy a 300ZX TT.

That, and the fact that the back suspension of our cars is right where the axle will be. And its too wide, AND we have stuff where the drive shaft would be AND the trannys aren't the same AND blah, blah, blah.

Four LAST threads about this idea.
