Aug 8, 2006 · We are building a 1982 Datsun 280ZX. The car came from Georgia and has been sitting in a barn for nearly 10 years. The customer is very attached to it and wanted to update the car and re-power it. He wanted a VQ35 from a 350Z.

Oct 20, 2011 · I already had a VQ35 and really wanted to go the swap but its probably gonna cost just as much as swapping an RB. You can find some pretty good deals for VQ35DE's or VQ35HR's, I got just the engine for $200 bucks. I have seen some under 2 grand low mileage VQ's with Engine, trans, ECU, & Harness.

Jul 22, 2019 · Just bought a 1974, and wanted some advice on engine swapping to a vq35de. I’m young and new to car and engine building, but this is my dream project. Any advice will help.

May 23, 2018 · Just starting a build thread for my 280z. Currently in the process of stripping the car down and will hopefully be pulling the engine out in the next week. Brief plans for the car are: - Install VQ35HR Engine & 6sp Manual box from donor car. Leaving engine as standard. HR spec is 310hp so should be a good start for the car.

This is a beautiful 1978 Datsun 280Z (S30 chassis). It came to us from Louisiana and was shipped to us to perform a VQ35 swap. If you know us at all, we are ...

Jul 1, 2015 · Just wondering if we can get a vq34de swap faq going since they're becoming more and more common, and there isn't a whole lot of resources pertaining to this swap. here's a link to the mckinney mount kit
