I have seen one in a 280Z They have alot more engine room but im sure it can be done with enough tools and equipment to fabricate with. Chop Cut Rebuild!!!!

Fitment can be done i'm sure, with some massive cutting into fender wells and the firewall for balance...it's the whole balance of the car i'd be worried about. Look into V-8 swaps and issues people run into with them, and even then V-8 swaps end up being much cheaper than exotic swaps. Keep searching, i know there was a guy with a "spare" viper motor a while ago on Zilvia that was asking about the same thing. Good Luck!

not again....... Are you the same dude from before?

With enough time, money and connections ANYTHING can be done. The question is, do YOU have the resources to pull it off? If you need to ask us if it "can" be done... Then I think my answer to you is "no".

Edit: I'm going to call you out on your searching abilities. How did this thread slip past you?

I'm closing this now before it gets real ugly.

No amount of searching on this forum is going to help you afford or give you the knowledge to do this swap.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
