Hey welcome to NICO! I made you your own thread.

As far as I know the 1990-95 NA engines will all interchange there are some slight differences in electrical components and fuel injectors but you can just swap them over as needed. I am completely unsure of the interchange for the 1996 engine.

Is the 300zx the only car I can get a motor from?

A couple certain year Infiniti J30's will also work but I am unsure which ones.

No problem! I your thread doesn't get anymore helpful responses by tomorrow I'll page the goon squad. :gapteeth:

Someone should know the NA engine compatibility though. We just have to wait. :)

Until then you can check out this thread: did-you-know-this-fits-a-z32-t537958.html

just get a rebuild kit!, na 300zx motors are fairly cheap to rebuild. PLUS a motor that was rebuilt would be A LOT more reliable than a JY motor about to be shredded!

And, keep an eye out for low mileage part outs that would yield a serviceable engine. :dblthumb:

I wouldnt have a problem doing a rebuild especially since im in ohio and winter is right around the corner so I can take my time but I blew a rod in my motor and it took out the block so I need another motor to rebuild.

Thats the same thing I would of said to tiwnturbozxtacy before I started working here but u would b amazed of sum of the cars I see here I have seen s*** with like 80, 000 miles on it and in mint condition so I was just hoping I could get lucky and find another car that had the same motor in it or at least the same block cuz I NEVER see any 300zx's come in here.
