350Z Motor... Will it Fit?

I was wondering since it is the same block with different internals, shouldn't it bolt right up to out tranny and motor mounts? Would it even be worth it?

I put a lambo engine in mine... I especially like the gull-wing pistons, but the whole engine didn't fit in the front so I put 6 pistons in the trunk... LIKE A GLOVE!

i know a 350z is rear wheel drive but that doesn't change the block, maybe the motor mounts... I'm not a complete idiot... I was just wondering, I'm definitely not planning on doing this.

Oops, sorry...I forgot to mention I'm in the process of taking out the lambo engine with the gull-wing pistons and putting in a Pratt & Whitney Raptor F119 jet engine. I would have been done already but like you said, the motor mounts are different because the Raptor engine is under-mount and I have to convert it to fit my FWD tranny.


...... or you can read the sarcasm as "Of course with enough money you can do anything, but for less than the price of a new car, 'NO, it can not be done'."
