Hey,

Long time since I posted on here. But anyhow let me tell you about my friend Jay. Jay currently has a 87" Z31 with a 85" VG30E in it now that he pulled from his totalled 85". Anyway he has a 92" VG30DETT that he is gonna rebuild and mod the hell out of then he is gonna swap it into his 87". I know this has to have been done before so here's my question. What do we need to do before we do this swap I'm talking all the parts and labor required to do all this and anything he need to do to the body itself. His 87" is a Turbo body but no turbo motor in it at the moment. Any inquires would be great thanks,

i know it has been done. i saw a picture of one in a magazine once. it was some wierd japaneese magazine though. im guessing it would be a huge pain in the butt with a lot of exaust fabrication going on.
