kevinsean23 Posted March 11, 2003 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2003 Good morning all!I am interested in getting a 280z very soon and Ineed some information on different engines that willwork and the transmission. I do not want to have to deal with ancient parts soI am wondering if an engine from an older maxima will go fine in the 280z and wondering what kinds of tranny will work. please provide as much information as possiblealong with approx costs of each. Also any other modifications that may need to be done. I really don't want to have to mod too much. Thank you and have a great day!Kevinsean23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted March 11, 2003 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2003 An early Maxima engine will work in a Z (they are the same block), but keep in mind that a 280 is a 2.8L and the Maximas are a 2.4LIf you're worried about "ancient parts", it won't take more than a few hundred $$ in parts to rebuild a 2.8L, and the lower ends on theses motors are all but indestructable.
