Motor Swap Question

HI, I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if i could put a Vg30DE N/A (1990-96 z32) in my Z31 because my motor is bad & I got this motor for free with computer and running. So if anyone has any advice or if I cant please tell me.

been asked many times. try searching please. like anything, it CAN be done. is it worth doing? no. it would be far easier and more cost effective to put in a VG30ET, which would also be easier to get power out of than the VG30DE.

How many engine swaps have you done before? Because a VG30DE into a Z31 as your first swap would definately cure you of any more desire to work on cars.

if you're 17 and this is your first car then you have to drop in an SR20DET. That's what everyone else has.
