If you need any large items shipped like engines or even front clips, I can help you out. Just go to AssociatedShippers.com and get a quote.

I found a great 93 eng for 200, hard to pass up, if it can be done, I assume, swap oil pans, and eveything on it, both are automatic, slow or not, he wants it to run, not worried about speed, he's tired of the bus.

Any idea if wiring would be similar? I can get a 95 motor for 500, but he is broke. If thats what it takes, then...

Wiring wise, my guess is it'll be kind of like the VH swap into your Z. You'll need the wiring harness and ECU and probably have to splice some wires in. If the 95 has CONSULT you'll lose that feature as the 3rd gens didn't have it.

Motor and tranny mounts will also probably be different but the oil pan probably won't be too much of an issue. I bet they're all front sump. I know the VG is, pretty sure the VE is, not sure about the VQ.

I checked out http://www.car-part.com and found a VQ for 300 up in Dallas. Its a bit of a drive but would probably be worth compared to trying to swap the engine. I just see lots of headaches in trying that swap. You may also just try searching for a VQ block at car-part.com and swap the heads over and such.

Guess that stops that. For the amount of money he has, thats not happening. Have to find a decent 95 engine, for 400 or so.
