It might fit. I doubt it would "drop in". You'll likely need some custom work to make it fit.
And what kind of holes are you talking about? A motor that starts out without a turbo is not too mechanically different then a motor that comes with a turbo. Manufacturers will tend towards beefier parts and lower compression to reduce the chance of detonation and failure from it. But if you turbo a Non-turbo motor, tune it well, and do not push the boost limits higher than the motor's capabilities, then you should have no problems.

w1ngzer0, i have actually talked about doing the 300zx engine swap into my 240. it would be a little bit of a pain though. custom motor mounts would be need to fabricated. Another thing we didnt really get to check was how the tranny would line up with the existing location of the shifter in the 240 and if you would have to cut your center console piece up so that you could make it work. Im sure it can be done but we never went to far into because i decided to go with KA-T.

dont kill yourself searching for answers. if you cant find something, dont hesitate to start a thread and ask. there is ALOT of information to scan thru, even using the search button, some people are just too anal to realize that.
welcome to the board
the main thing you should know, is that an engine is an engine is an engine. theres VERY few "240sx" specific things. learn about motors in general, and turbocharging NA's in general, and you'll get a great idea of how to approach mods, and carry them out properly.. on 240sx's and other cars as well.

Plus...understand that everyone here as gone through their own "trial and error" stages. So dont get discouraged if something goes wrong here or there, and believe me things will.We've all been there, and we love to help others not follow in our footsteps and learn from our mistakes. First get familiar with your car and where evrything is...do the simple things by yourself to get comfortable tinkering. If you run into anything...just start typing.
