Default Question on engine compatibility

what year Maxima/Altima engines are compatible with the 350? I know the intake etc are different but it's my understanding that the longblocks themselves are the same.

Can anyone verify which years/models the 350Z shares a longblock with?

the longblock on the maximas is similar, but has diferent motor mounts spots... it won't fit.... only the Z engine will fit a Z without heavy modification...

I think the Maxima engine sits differently than the Z...does the Z' sit vertical and the Maxima's sit horizontal?

no they don't. the Maxima/Altima is transversely mounted due to being FWD, hence the different motor mount locations on the FWD block.

the RWD is obviously RWD mounted.

There was a thread here recently that described all the differences to an escrutiating degree. Just searched... took 12 seconds: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ghlight=altima https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ghlight=altima
