just wondering if you guys can help me think up a check list of stuff i'll need to complete this swap.. i've got a guy locally who will sell me a VG30DE out of a '91 300ZX with 130K miles on it (timing belt changed at 118K) i've heard the engine run and i couldnt even hear a lifter ticking.. he told me that for $600 he'd give me the engine, wiring harness, ecu, and motor mounts (and probably anything else in the engine bay that i want)

hopefully i wont really need too much to do this swap.. but if there is anything you guys might think of that could possibly be a problem or something worth taking a look at, i would greatly appreciate it

Awesome, so did he say he'd really go for it?

I'm not much help here, don't have a lot of experience with the DE, I think we're in uncharted territory... :laugh:

Sorry dude, we're all VG30DE-illiterate... :laugh:

Maybe if you could get on the Z31 boards and see if there's some people who have done the swap in a Z31, it should be pretty much the same. If you don't, we'll figure it out anyway! I have a welder... :guitar:
