RacerX Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I was at my friends repair shop this morning and he had an 300ZX VG30DETT engine built by Stillen sitting on an engine stand. Seems the customer blew the engine up and it was torn down for inspection. No heads, intake, water pump, oil pan etc., - just the block on the engine stand. It looked very small, so I took the liberty to quickly measure it. Here are the "engine block" dimensions: Engine: Length= 15.5" Height= 9.5" Width= 14.5" Just thought someone would be interested in this info.

ZR8ED Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Widest part of the VG30DET motor is @ the valve covers (approx) I meausred it leave us 1/2" clearance of the shock towers on either side. Tight fit. Scott. I have a TT drivline at the shop I can measure if anyone really needs some dimesions.. its for sale to BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwappedAtBirth Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I found the information you were looking for. http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&title=The-Nissan-VG30DETT&A=109870 710mm (27.95inches) Long 775mm (30.51inches) Wide 695mm (27.36inches) Tall I wanted to know the size as well as I am planning on swapping it into my '93 Miata. Yeah I know, the miata swap is overdone, but the car was free to me so I'm going to make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
