engine did not drop right in, the clearance issues are as follows:
1) the mounting brackets of the 300zx are too long and wide, i mounted the engine on the J's mounts and mounting brackets
2) AC line (throttling valve line) was interferering with the turbo intake (the hose that runs from the filter to the turbo), that is still rigged up for now, i 'm going to approach this problem soon, the way to solve it is to get the 300zx lines and install them (the AC compressor is the same in both engines
3) the turbo exhaust pipe on the driver side is slightly interfering with the steering column, i'm approaching this next, the way around it is to redo the down pipe on the driver side
4) the oil filter of the 300zx was hitting the steering rack, to solve this, a remote oil filter kit was used
there is a lot of other issues, if you are interested in the swap, let me know, and be more than happy to help. most of the issues i faced were discussed in the j30tt progress post in this forum, check it out for starters....
