Hello, I am attempting to swap a VK56VE engine into a Datsun 280z, and i was wondering if i will be able to fit the engine into the bay, let alone close the hood. I have seen other posts similar to this where they say fabrication is needed to fit the engine. I want to know to what extent fabrication is needed and also, if i will be able to even fit a aftermarket turbocharger, air filter, and other aftermarket parts.
Also, sorry for asking so many questions but i have been told that a nissan 350z transmission will connect to the VK56 with an adapter plate, but will it fit into the 280z? It this true, and if not are there any other solutions?
AND along with ALL that, will this thing drift.
