Is it worth it to you

 

What is your level of fabrication and wiring experience......you could put a pratt and whitney bomber engine in there if you wanted to

 

See above, substitute pratt and whitney for peterbilt

 

Oics or it didnt happen.

It is an advanced swap.

 

The VG30 fits in the smaller B110 (several guys have completed the swap), so it wil fit in the B310 which is about 2" wider:

 

The 300ZX rear axle assembly is too wide, the 510 and 610 units are too narrow. Maybe the 280ZX would be best. But several guys have swapped S14 rears, so it is definitely possible. They fabricate new suspension arms and shorten the driveshafts. Plus modify the chassis and the suspension mount points.
