Hello, i am new to this forum. I am planning on swapping the motor from a 1996 300ZX 2+2 into my 1990 2+2. They are both NA Z32s but i was wondering if anything is different between the engines that may give me a problem during the swap or down the road. If anyone has any tips to make the swap easier just let me know! Thanks in advance!!!

96 is OBD2, a pre 96 engine would require the EFI harness and ECU swapped as well. The swap is possible but you may not pass emissions depending on the jurisdiction.
