Exclamation Help !!!!

Hey,

I know NOTHING about cars, and even less about fixing them, but I do know what I like, and I love my 1983 280ZX.

Problem... it needs an engine swap.

Now, I found an engine, but it's for a 79-81 280ZX. Will it work in my 83? If so, will I need to get new mounts and stuff, or will it just drop right in?

If you guys could give me some help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Re: Help !!!!

best thing to do is to take off and swap the intake manifolds.. as far as the head and block goes you shouldnt have a problem with them...
