Sumo Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Since the 350Z just came out a lot of people have totaled and unfortunately for them wrecked it already. Anyone contemplate swapping the 3.5 in the early Z? Also GReddy is showing off a 350Z with their turbo kit at the SEMA show. Heres a link to a pic GReddy 350Z Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Z Bushido Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 man, a VQ35DE in a 240Z would absolutely fly! that would be an amazing swap, i bet the motors are quite pricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I bet you could not touch one of those drivetrains for less than 5-figures. That would be one expensive swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 With costs of the engine set aside, will the engine fit the early Z's? Like i said the number of wrecked Z's are increasing everyday. I'm pretty sure the cost will come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Gress Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 You should be able to make it fit without too much trouble. I like the idea of a 250 -300 hp motor with mild manners, would make for a great daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 There was an engine on eBay that nobody bid on, starting at $199, although it was not a complete engine, much less drivetrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
