So I got a 240z and the engine was seized, I took it apart and now I have a 280z engine block/head all parts are in there and it's unseized, can I use all the other parts from my 240z engine like carbs and intake or are they not compatible with the head. Thanks

One bit of advice, don't rush it.  Obviously, this is not your daily driver.

Here it is, 

Read what Carl Beck says.

@wheee I have tried to find some local Datsun people, haven't had much luck. Thank you

Keep an eye out for complete cars.  Many old Z's are out there, not running, but still with good parts.  ZX's too.  Any Z or ZX up to 1983 would have an engine, transmission, and rear differential that will swap in to your 240Z.  

I bought a 78 280Z just for the transmission, but the engine is in my car now, and runs great.  It sat for 10 years.  $300 and $100 for towing.  But that was a while ago.

Thank you I will keep that in mind
