Hello! I have a 1978 280Z and I am looking to put in a 280

ZX engine....is there any particular year for a ZX I should be

looking for? Thanks for your time!

This site describes the differences in the various motors-particularly the heads. You might as well do some research and get the one you want rather than wishing you had later on. My '73 has a 280zx motor in it from when I bought it that was a Nissan remanufacture. It is a very tight motor, but has dished pistons and an N47 head. Not my wish list but good enough for now.

What exactly are you looking to accomplish with this essentially like for like swap?
