The site is dedicated to swaps like this. They have a complete forum dedicated to Nissan engine swaps. You'll find most anything you need to know over there...

Over here we tend to stick to the straight sixes....

Wow! That swap looks like a nightmare. I think I'll stick to a L28et. If anyone has a good place to find one please let me know. I am on a budget, but I want one in good shape. No point in starting with a weak base to build on. In case you haven't guessed I am new to the sight, but I have a good working knowledge of nissan engines, and mechanics in general. This is my first foray into the old school nissan pool however. I have a good idea where to start, but any pointers or advice will be greatly appreciated. I live in the Chicago area so if anyone is local or knows of any local salvage yards that are good Z places please let me know.

Welcome to the site ironbloc!

You could start out looking for an engine by hitting up car-parts.com and doing a search for stuff in illinois, but i've never seen any real great deals listed on there. Occasionally a good deal local to you pops up on the zcar.com classifieds for a cheap engine in need of a rebuild.

I've been in the market myself to get an engine to tinker with, and after keeping an eye out for a while, something fitting the bill finally comes up, but I don't have the garage space right now! arghh!

Too intense restoration had it done. Saw it with my own eyes the guy lives down the street from me. He said that a lot of cutting was done. Personally I'd stick with an I-6.

Nissan RB26DETT would be an awsome swap (skyline GTR)

Or, if you don't mind going to a different manufacturer, a Toyota 2JZ-GTE would be an awsome swap as well.
