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

You want just the engine?  That is a horrible deal.

Oh wait, yeah I would pass on it too.  I didn't realize the head core plug was missing too.  I was looking at the block one next to the oil filter.  That looks like the rubber expanding plug.

In your first post, you mentioned you have another 280z motor, plus the 240z motor that was seized?  Or was the 280z motor the one your thinking on buying?

 

 

JSM FYI that is a block heater, not a frost plug.

It is a immersion type

standard equipment right from the dealer on most cars up here. But I agree with everyone he should still stay away from that motor.
